Food Chains: Exposing the Struggles of America's Farmworkers


Food Chains is a compelling documentary that sheds light on the exploitation of farmworkers in the United States, focusing on their relentless pursuit of justice and equitable treatment within the food industry.

There is so much interest in food these days, yet there is almost no interest in the hands that pick that food. Farm labor has always been one of the most difficult and poorly paid jobs in the US and has relied on some of the nation’s most vulnerable people.

Directed by Sanjay Rawal, 2011. Starring Forest Whitaker, Eva Longoria, and Robert Kennedy Jr.
