The Women's Film Festival's film selection committee calls As If I Am Not There the festival's “most powerful” film this year, a timeless drama that tells a difficult story some may find hard to watch.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Croatian author Slavenka Drakulic. The book recounts the horrors in Bosnia-Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995, when tens of thousands of women were systematically raped as part of a sick “ethnic cleansing” campaign against Muslims.
This is what happens to Samira, the lead character in the drama.
