Over the past decade, India has emerged as the leader in the global
market for white-collar "outsourcing" jobs-a notable component of
India's rapid economic growth. A dramatic and personal film, "1-800-
INDIA" explores the experience of young Indian men and women who have
been recruited into these new jobs requiring long hours, night
shifts, and westernized work habits. The film reveals the human and
cultural impact of a sweeping global trend, exploring its effect on
Indian family life, on the evolving landscape of Indian cities and
towns, and on the aspirations and daily lives of young Indians,
especially women, entering the work force. The screening will be
followed by a discussion with "1-800-India" Producer Anna Cater.
