Calling Home (2008)

Duration: 12:11    Category: International, Scotland, Short, Society   

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.
