Outsourced
While browsing netflix for instant watching movies, I was surprised to see the #1 was a title I hadn't heard about- called 'outsourced'.
The topic of outsourcing has been one close to my heart- & I have always tried to view it from new perspectives- simply because of the ironies in it. An economy driven by competitive prices, seemingly killing itself by sending jobs overseas.
'outsourced' is a light-hearted look at this taboo topic.
The movie talks about this american call centre manager sent to india to train his replacement.
What ensues is a delightful comedy- with the underpinnings of job loss & the irony of the situation showing through.
The movie takes a look at indian culture and contrasts it with the western. Also, the sights and sounds of small town india are shown as is. No glossing over- though a little overdone in some parts for the drama.
The movie ends with an interesting twist, & is definitely an educational & entertaining watch.
A must see.
