For foreign workers, the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Employment of Workers program provides a means to work legally in the US. Companies look to the H-2A program as a steady supply of inexpensive labor. This investigative documentary features several organizations in the Santa Maria region who expose the unjust reality of this program and how it affects the farm-working community.
