HRW Film Festival Closing Reception

The Human Rights Watch Toronto Network invites you to join us at the Closing Night Reception of the Fourth Annual Human Rights Watch International Film Festival co-presented with Cinematheque Ontario on Thursday, March 8, 2007
featuring

JOHN & JANE
Directed by ASHIM AHLUWALIA

John & Jane is an astonishing look at the souls of the outsourced. Shot on 35mm and composed with unsettling grace, this documentary finds an entirely original and fitting language to express the eerie dislocation of virtual work. The lives it depicts are real, but the film's approach gives those lives the scope of speculative fiction.

Human Rights Watch is pleased to host guest speakers:
