John and Jane

A film by Ashim Ahluwalia

Call for assistance

In vast, fluorescent rooms, thousands of ambitious young Indians talk to people in cities and towns across America. Bridging continents by telephone, they pitch products and soothe frayed consumer nerves. As they troubleshoot, they dream of America. As they dream, they change.

Welcome to the world of offshore call centers. John & Jane is an astonishing look at the souls of the outsourced. Shot on 35mm and composed with unsettling grace, this documentary finds an entirely original and fitting language to express the eerie dislocation of virtual work.
