DOCUMENTARY, US, 2008, 100 minutes
With the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States estimated at 12 million, anti-immigration sentiment has swept across America and immigration has increasingly become a central topic of debate. To explore the issue of immigration from the standpoint of the American farmer as well as through the eyes of the migrant worker, filmmaker Angelo Mancuso and crew traveled to more than a dozen states, into Mexico and visited remote areas of the U.S./Mexico border conducting interviews while covering more than 15,000 miles. The film points out the inconsistencies of the current policy on immigration, revealing the lives of legal and illegal migrants and farmers working toward a better life, and documents the symbiotic relationship that has emerged between them. Is the immigration system in America flawed? And why are immigrants – quite literally – dying to feed America?
Angelo Mancuso has worked on several feature films and has produced and directed shorts, commercials and PSAs over a 13-year career. He makes his directorial debut with American Harvest.
