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.
When the cost of labor in Africa is even cheaper?
What is the end of the line for the capitalist?
Stop corporate
Before taking on a documentary shouldn't you have at least some idea of how to go about making it?
Yeah, like porch monkeys can code!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"anti-outsourcing advocacy groups,"
Make sure to interview the KKK. They are the anti-outsourcing advocacy that gets to the root of opposition to outsourcing: some people hate the fact that "brown" foreigners do some jobs better than Americans.
What else is new.
I'd like you to do my homework for me. Please help me makes lots of money off documentary making. I'd go out an find the answers for myself, but that's too hard.
This is neither off topic nor troll - mod this back up!
I think he should ask why people who would jump at the chance to accuse Trent Lott of racism for saying Strom Thurmond would have made a good president will nevertheless gleefully proclaim that Indian workers are inferior to American workers.
Who the fuck says Americans are fucking entitled to the jobs in the first place? You're telling me a person from India, China, Korean [fuck even Canada] is not entitled to work in the software industry?
Who the fuck built your buildings, roads and railways anyways? Sure as heck were uppity white-collars from England. It was the chinese, the irish and the vast other amounts of immigrants you looked down upon as a whole. I know, I watched Rudy!

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
If the filmmakers can't think of any good questions by themselves it sounds as though they're doing a little outsourcing themselves: "Do my homework for me".
