The Harvest: Documentary Film Screening and Conversation 

In an effort to shed light on the hardships faced by children living in the migrant farm-working community, CenterScene Public Program invites you to a screening of The Harvest/La Cosecha on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011.

Every year there, are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools, and homes to work 12-14 hours, 7 days a week, picking the food we all eat. The Harvest, an award-winning documentary film, follows Zulema, Perla, and Victor, children who labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. The documentary profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida's tomato fields to follow the harvest.
