What Harvest for the Reaper?
- 1969 ----- b & w ----- 59 min ----- 16mm
- Follows a group of farmworkers who become caught in a system that keeps them perpetually in debt to their employer. Shows them in Arkansas as a labor recruiter promises good pay and living conditions and then follows them to upstate New York. The fare for their bus trip is to be deducted from their wages and thus begins a systematic bond of debt that continues as long as they stay on the farm. Interviews show their frustration. Growers and processors present their side of the story--their arguments are refuted by the county human relations commission.
- Topics: (Agriculture, Social Work: Human/Community Services, Sociology)
