In this experimental documentary, filmmaker James Benning reveals the human cost behind America's longstanding debate on immigration. The story takes place in a rural farming community in California's Central Valley. It's here that much of the nation's produce is grown, and also where thousands of undocumented workers are being neglected each day. Without being overly preachy, Benning creates a powerful political commentary on immigration in America.
