Torn straight from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling and prescient In This World follows young Afghn Jamal (Jamal Udin Torabi) and his older cousin Enayat (Enayatullah) as they embark on a hazardous overland trip from their refugee camp at Peshwar, north-west Pakistan. Entering Turkey on foot through a snowy, Kurdish-controlled pass, the pair again take their lives into their hands and face suffocation when they are locked in a freight container on a ship bound for Italy. From there they plan to travel on to Paris, the Sangatte refugee centre and ultimately asylum in London. Re-affirming his status as one of Britain's most accomplished and diverse film-making talents, Winterbottom and his hugely gifted writer Tony Grisoni have struck a poignant, searing and remarkable balance between the fictional and documentary elements of the narrative to perceptively and indeed objectively examine the plight of Jamal and the countless thousands like him.
