| Subjects: Canadian Studies, Family Studies, Human Rights, Immigration, Law, Multicultural Studies, Poverty | ||||
Geraldo, a Costa Rican construction worker, and Angela, a second-generation Caribbean domestic worker, tell of their struggles against labour exploitation. Against the odds, they work to build a future for families painfully separated by restrictive immigration laws. Viewers meet an often-invisible workforce and reflect on the hidden costs of sustaining our first world economy. |
