The film focuses on Latino immigrant day laborers' lived experience and the effects of poverty and discrimination on their well-being. The film addresses some of the social, structural and environmental factors associated with the struggles these immigrants face by looking at the historical and political context of their everyday lives, to include their legal status, social networks, financial situation, risk environments and their physical and emotional well-being. Through the lives of the few men speaking we begin to see how the story of a few can tell a story of the many in capturing the hardships of the Latino immigrant experience, while highlighting the broader context of what it means to live as an undocumented immigrant.
The film discusses how these immigrants are effected by globalization and political conflicts, while recognizing that the growing violence and poverty in Mexico and Central America has forced many migrants to leave their homes and communities. The film shows that these are people who come to the US to find work and in the process struggle to survive and take care of their families in a system where all odds are against them. By looking at the social determinants of health and the lived experiences of these men, the film provides an informed voice for this often silenced and invisible community deemed as "illegal" and unworthy of many basic human rights."
++++++++++++++++++++
Este documental hace un recuento de las experiencia de inmigrantes jornaleros y los efectos de la pobreza y la discriminación para su bienestar. Por medio de entrevistas ellos narran sus experiencias personales, mientras dejan ver los efectos de la política y la globalización donde pasan a ser piezas en un juego donde no hay ningún tipo de redención para ellos. Ellos vienen de países donde tampoco quedan esperanzas de una vida digna. Su voces resuenan como el eco de una comunidad ignorada, marginalizada, y sobre todo "ilegal," a los que no se les otorga lo básico de derechos humanos.
