Oscar-? winner Vanessa Redgrave (Atonement Julia) stars in this HBO Films adaptation of writer/actor Wallace Shawn's deeply personal play about the high cost of enlightenment and the ever-widening gap between those who have and those who have not. Redgrave plays a nameless woman from a privileged world suffering from a sense of disconnection from her comfortable life who travels to a country (also nameless) in the throes of civil war. Suddenly deliriously ill she confronts an internal chorus of conflicting voices: dreams of comfort from her past images of violence accusations of indifference and cold-blooded arguments in favor of oppression. The central question: what if anything is a morally consistent way to live in the world as it is?
