Migrant Workers
Season 2
Episode 5
With many Americans unwilling to take agricultural work, farmers today rely on migrant labor from Mexico and Central America. The hard work and isolation can make life difficult for many migrant workers. In Nelson County, Vanessa Hale works with a bilingual staff to build relationships with the “invisible population” of migrant workers in the orchards and vineyards.
