American Harvest
A documentary film that is friendly to the role immigrants play in America and American agriculutre, American Harvest is being promoted at this Web site.
From the Web site:
Immigrants are dying to feed America.
Discrimination of immigrants has existed in the United States since the English persecuted the Irish at the beginning of this country’s history. It was once generally considered that if you were Greek or Southern Italian you were not white. Anti-immigration sentiment is nothing new in the U.S.
American farmers and agriculture rely on immigrants to do jobs that Americans won’t do or feel that are simply beneath them. This is causing problems for many people. Some see the problem first hand. Others only see the problems in the news from the perspective of those extreme points of view of the left and the right side of our political system.
American Harvest attempts to shed light on the changing face of the United States in particular as it relates to Agriculture. This film also points out the flaws and inconsistencies of the current U.S. policy on immigration.
The filmmakers follow both legal and illegal farm workers and the farmers caught in the middle of a flawed immigration policy.
Below is a trailer for the film.
