MISCHA MARCUS ON HER FIRST-TIME FEATURE I AM STILL HERE
You won't enjoy I Am Still Here. Don't get us wrong: it's a good film. Great, even (the feature recently won Best Feature at the Nice Film Festival). But it's a tough watch. An utterly heartbreaking and highly uncomfortable 104 minutes that will linger long after you've left the cinema, in fact.
But, as first-time director Mischa Marcus rightly says, 'this film is not for your comfort.' She actively wants you to feel uneasy. Unnerved. A little queasy. Why? It details the gruesome realities of sex trafficking - an offense which, according to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, is set to overtake drugs and weapons as society's most pervasive crime.
