Editorial Reviews

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), French ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Music Video, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: In "The World Unseen," a trembling soap of racial oppression and lesbian longing, three Indian women endure South African apartheid in the 1950s with strategies as diverse as their personalities. For Amina (Sheetal Sheth), it's all about defiance. Invariably attired in snazzy men's wear, she flouts the law by owning a cafe with the racially mixed Jacob (David Dennis) and encouraging mixed-race dining. For Miriam (Lisa Ray), complete subservience to her controlling husband, Omar (Parvin Dabas), and two children is the way to go. Only the slinky Farah (Natalie Becker) has found relief beneath the radar, sleeping with Omar while Miriam scrubs. Directed by Shamim Sarif and based on her novel of the same title, "The World Unseen" never begins to tap the talent at its disposal. ...The World Unseen

This is one of the few movies, that was up lifting and wonderful to watch. I enjoyed the relationship the two women had with just the way they moved around each. The cafe owner was great to watch she play her part great. They both play in another movie I so enjoyed as well. I watch this over and over again. A must have in your collection.
