:
The film incorporates animation as a way to build in personal
narrative in a doodle-like manner. It also includes live
action footage which takes the form of cinema verité
and innovatively edited interviews, and archival footage
that provides contextual analysis to the socio-political
history of globalization and capitalism. The film is a wonderful
commentary on identity in the new millennium that intersects
diaspora with global outsourcing.
