"The documentary ‘American Harvest’ powerfully portrays the truth about agriculture and migrant labor in the United States at the present time. In a series of candid interviews with farmers and farmworkers from Florida to Maine, the viewer objectively learns the facts and dispels the myths connected with migrant farmworkers. The film portrays the migrant reality that can’t be ignored and which is rarely seen by most people. It’s a must see if we are serious about the truth of migrant workers."
"American Harvest" is a documentary film by director Angelo Mancuso, White Hot Films, who asks the question:
Is the immigration system in America flawed?
"American Harvest" is a journey from Florida to New York, including a trip to the Mexican border, revealing the lives and issues of legal and illegal migrants and farmers working toward a better life.
But are immigrants dying in their efforts to improve their lives?
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.
