Director Statement
When the whole world stopped, there were people who rose to the occasion during one of the most challenging times in recent history, the Covid 19 pandemic. Among the people who worked through this challenging time were fieldworkers. In California, farm workers worked through the pandemic to bring food to the table of Americans. Their dedication and hard work has gone unseen and it was my honor to highlight their sacrifice. This documentary is a look deeper into their day to day and hopefully raise awareness to how vital they are to society and give them the recognition they deserve.
