it's for you

Here’s a new-to-DVD Canadian documentary that does the impossible: makes you smile at telemarketers.

Filmed at night in the modern call centres in India, Bombay Calling follows bright young university grads with polished English accents as they abandon career dreams for lush call centre salaries.

With an uplifting DJ spun soundtrack and lots of late-night silliness, the doc comments on the risks of globalization without hammering you over the head like Michael Moore.

By turns hilarious and harrowing, it almost makes you sympathetic to the young stranger who calls during supper hour with something to sell.

Almost.
