El Contrato
(2003)Overview
This documentary from Min Sook Lee follows a poverty-stricken father from Central Mexico, along with several of his countrymen, as they make their annual migration to southern Ontario to pick tomatoes.

Yet despite a fear of repercussions, the workers voice their desire for dignity and respect.
