Room without a view : a chronicle of the exploitation of migrant domestic workers in Lebanon

Corella, Roser, (film director.). EPF Media, (publisher.).

Reveals the dire reality of foreign domestic workers in Middle Eastern countries such as Lebanon. The documentary offers an intimate insight into the private lives of employers, agents, and maids. Laws create a legal structure of inequality and power imbalance that encourages corruption and abuse. Sexism and the patriarchal system discriminate against Lebanese women, in turn, perpetuating abuse against foreign domestic workers. Exposing a modern form of slavery, the film reflects on the role of women and domestic workers in capitalist societies.
