Title
H-2 Worker
Description
Arizona International Film Festival program film description: This controversial expose tells the story of the 10,000 Caribbean workers imported each year to cut sugar cane by hand near Florida's Lake Okeechobee. This brutal six-month task is so dangerous and conditions are so appalling, that Americans refuse to perform the work. The scandalous "H-2" guestworker visa program has existed since 1942. H-2 Worker was able to expose it because the filmmakers successfully shot clandestine footage where they had been denied permission to enter by the sugar corporations and the local police.
