This is the story of five Afghan women who flked their country and use their positions in Canada to try and reveal the life they left behind and what is like to be from Afghanistan
Using recreations, straight interviews and some artistic florishes, IN THE ROOM tries to bring the lives of its subjects to life. While I found the women's stories compelling I'm not too fond on the means it used to tell the story. I really wish that the film had been a more straight forward telling of the stories. While what here is compelling, the means of telling the story distracts from the stories.
IN THE ROOM is worth a look but you may wish for something a bit meatier.
