Migrant Dreams w/ Trip To The Stars - 12th Annual Harlem International Film Festival
MIGRANT DREAMS
Director: Min Sook Lee
Canada, 88 min
A group of migrant women farm workers dare to resist the systemic oppression and exploitation from their brokers, employers and Canadian government in small-town Ontario.
A powerful feature documentary by multiple award-winning director Min Sook Lee (El Contrato, Hogtown, Tiger Spirit) and Emmy award-winning producer Lisa Valencia-Svensson (Hermans House), tells the undertold story of migrant agricultural workers struggling against Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that treats foreign workers as modern-day indentured laborers. Under the rules of Canada's migrant labor program, low wage migrants are tied to one employer.
