What Should a Documentary Filmmaker Ask About Offshoring?

Philadelphia-area development economics and finance student Rachel Anderika and her associate, programmer/filmmaker Krishnan, are making a documentary about the effects of offshore outsourcing. Their "still under construction" Web site, Project Outsourced, gives you more information about their work. They're interviewing economists, bankers, anti-outsourcing advocacy groups, pro-outsourcing CEOs, columnists, and others. Where you come in is helping Rachel and Krishnan come up with good questions to ask. We'll forward 10 - 15 of the highest-moderated ones posted here (within the next 24 hours) to them. Expect summaries (and possibly audio or video clips) of the answers in late May, and news about the finished film this Fall.

    for an "outsourced American IT jobs" category so I can fucking filter it out!

    Anyway, boohoohoo to you. Welcome to Capitalism 101... proper companies will cut costs and sell more. That's the way it works, IT industry or not.

    BTW... go Indians! Do unto the White Men as they did to your ancestors on the Indian's rightful land!

    You do Sitting Bull proud.

    In fact, that person will likely get back more than they payed: income redistribution. Right here in the good ole U.S.? Karl Marx would be proud.

    Your right. Enjoying your work is totally unimportant and anyone who questions that assumption is a whiner.
