Nalini by Day, Nancy by Night is a documentary on outsourcing of American jobs
to India.
Told from the perspective of an Indian living in the U.S., the film journeys
into India's call
centers, where telemarketers acquire American names and accents to service the
telephone-support industry of the U.S. The film incorporates animation, live
action, and
archival footage to explore the complexities of globalization, capitalism, and
identity.
