Letter from London: Liz Mermin on Team Qatar

BBC Storyville's spring season got off to a promising start last week with the screening of Team Qatar, the latest observational documentary from Liz Mermin, who already has three Storyvilles under her belt (Shot in Bombay, Office Tigers, and The Beauty Academy of Kabul). The film follows a team of five high school students from Qatar as they form the first national high school debating team, and dive in at the deep end by participating in the World Schools' Debating Championships in Washington DC.
