Description du film [en anglais] :
« Through a visually rich blend of drama, archival and documentary footage with video imagery, The Dreams of the Night Cleaners weaves together many stories that radiate from Usha and her night shift cleaner friend, Devika, a recent immigrant from India. Prevailing cultural mythologies have devastating effects not only on public policy and public attitudes, but on individual lives. From both a personal and historical perspective, this art video examines Asian immigration to Canada, racism, sexism and employment fears in an uncertain marketplace. »
