Room 2017
How a hopeless failure turns into a nerve-racking story.
Rob Smits
It's every director's nightmare: to return home without your material. This is exactly what happened to director Rob Smits. He went to the Yanomami Indians in the deep green of Venezuela. Few men with a camera had spent time with this fierce tribe before him. But money talks even in the wildest jungle today, and on the day of his departure all but one of Smits' tapes were confiscated. How to make a film with no footage? Room 2017 turns a hopeless failure into a brilliant film.
