SYNOPSIS
With tensions high on immigration control, the time is right to introduce the North Carolina east coast migrant field worker to the United States consumer of produce. The documentary introduces two types of hired “migrant’ workers who pick the US produce: the H-2A visa worker in North Carolina “legally” and the migrant worker who are typically in North Carolina as “undocumented.” The documentary follows both groups of people and explores the complex state of their lives. The documentary concludes with conversations between the migrant farm workers and the consumers during a dinner At a Stranger’s Table.
