Synopsis
A conference room in Chicago hosts 30 participants and 10 psychologists trained in the Tavistock method. Over three days, they engage in discussions that reveal patterns of stereotyping and identity. Authority shifts as participants question and assume roles within the group. The film captures these dynamics, showing how the conference structure influences social interactions. Participants confront subjective forces that extend beyond the conference's boundaries, leading to insights about identity and group behavior. Directed by Leigh Ledare, "The Task" runs for 119 minutes.
