Summary:

The Harvest documents the challenging lives of Zulema, Victor, and Perla, three American adolescents who labor as migrant farm workers from the heat-scorched onion fields of Texas, snow-covered apple orchards in Michigan, to the humid tomato fields of Florida. They manage to hold onto their dreams, despite inadequate housing, a lack of proper education, and working 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week to bring food to market.
