Description

Stories of Indigenous teenagers from Mexico striving to change their families’ destinies in the strawberry fields of Oxnard, California. These are the stories of indigenous Mixtec, Zapotec, and Purépecha teenagers from Mexico who are striving to change their families’ destinies in the strawberry fields of Oxnard, California. Through a stormy year of sanctioned racism and anti-immigrant policies, the documentary captures their journeys—with help from the characters’ own intimate videos—as they navigate cultural identity, parental expectations, economic challenges, and the justice needs of their migrant farmworker community.
