Synopsis

Modern slavery persists, taking on new forms. Roser Corella's film focuses on Beirut, where wealthy families extensively employ maids from Ethiopia, Kenya, and the Philippines through agencies that facilitate exploitation. These agencies advise employers on how to deceive and manipulate young women into working long hours for very low pay. The film exposes this disturbing reality, methodically dismantling the inhumane 'kafala' system through a combination of analysis and imagery. Ultimately, it is the maids themselves – through demonstrations, protests, and demands for fair treatment – who reveal the truth. Titled 'Room without a View,' the film blends artistic vision with investigative reporting to expose the horrors of contemporary slavery, a sadly relevant issue globally.
