Maine Migrant Workers: an invisible population

Through the quiet winding roads, their hard work is prevalent from the raked blueberry fields, to the beautifully crafted wreaths on each door. But the voices of these migrant workers are lost in the silence, and their stories remain untold, causing misconceptions of these workers throughout the state of Maine. This documentary will give you a glimpse into the world of migrant workers in Maine from their struggles to successes. While you view this video, I would like you to keep in mind that this documentary covers the tip of the iceberg. Not all migrant workers are the same: not all are here for the same reason, not all have the same work ethic, not all have the same opportunities, and to show all perspectives is an impossible task. Each migrant worker is an individual.
