on edit: I should add that this movie isn't a funny nor fast paced typical corporohollywood coming-of-age/love/date/action movie. Not too deep. But thoughtful.

2. If it doesn't pop up on cable tv soon, it's available at Amazon.

Thanks for sharing the information on this. It sounds exactly like a film many people would want to see, and many people need to see.

On edit:
If any of us learn it'll be on tv, it would be helpful to drop a note to the others who visit this forum.

Don't expect this to be in heavy rotation on cable. Set your DVR/Tivo.

Vanessa Redgrave stars in this HBO Films adaptation of writer/actor Wallace Shawn's deeply personal stage 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 collapses in a hotel bathroom, and, confronts an internal chorus of conflicting voices: dreams of comfort from her past, images of physical and economic 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? Directed by Carlo Nero and featuring Joely Richardson, Rade Sherbedgia and Geraldine James.
