Film: John and Jane Toll-Free

today's ny times has a review of a documentary film i saw last (edit) year, before it's release, when it was part of the new directors/new films festival here in new york. it's called "john and jane toll-free." it's about - you guessed it - call center workers in india and the effects, personal and cultural, of this industry. it's an illuminating and engaging documentary.

the times review, which summarizes and describes the film far better than i could possibly could here, can be found at:

i will definitely see this again now that it's in wide release and i know more about (and have been to!) india. hopefully "wide-release" will be wi-i-i-i-ide release. good film.
