H-2 Worker

Director: Stephanie Black
Run time: 67 min.

"Winner of the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival, H-2 Worker reveals the systematic exploitation of Caribbean laborers by the Florida sugar cane industry from World War II through the 1990s . . . Originally released in 1990, today H-2 Worker provides an invaluable resource to understanding the current debate over guest worker provisions of immigration legislation.  While Florida's sugar cane cutters have been replaced by mechanical harvesters, guest worker programs have expanded in agriculture, hotel, restaurant, forestry, and other industries."
