Calling Home

For most Londoners, home is here but also 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.
