- Summary:
- "This ... visual essay provides a troubling journey through migrant farmworker camps in suburban southern California -- Rancho de los Diablos, Kelly Camp, Porterville, McGonigle Canyon -- where homeless indigenous Mixteco workers coexist near gated designer-home enclaves in Carlsbad, La Costa, Encinitas and Del Mar ... [T]he film explores the charged debate over the meaning and consequences of immigrant culture near America's southern border, and along the way examines the complex realities of race and class in this country."--Www.berkeleymedia.com.
