Sinekatalog’s take

A documentary on Jamaican laborers recruited to cut sugar cane in Florida under a temporary guest-worker program. Shot in cane fields and labor camps, it exposes harsh conditions and thin protections. A tough, important watch on migrant labor.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
