Calling Home
Calling Home
2008, English. Directed by Marcelo Starobinas & Maria Eduarda Andrade.
For most Londoners home is both in the city and somewhere else at the other end of a phone line. This short documentary, entirely shot inside phone booths in cheap international call centres, is a gripping, emotional portrait of long distance relationships between immigrants and their families in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and South America.
