In Geeta Gandbhir’s Oscar-shortlisted documentary Call Center Blues, we join a community of US deportees, adjusting to their new life just South of the border in Tijuana, Mexico. Having lost the life they used to know, four very different individuals describe their experiences of building a new beginning in a strange country, whilst working in a call center. Capturing a nuanced, layered portrait of the physical, emotional and psychological transient situation many deportees find themselves in, Gandbhir’s 25-minute short is a sobering, sensitive watch – it’s easy to see why it’s so highly rated. “I was always aware of my place in society as a perceived outsider”
