Thanks for the comment. If people were as concerned about the working conditions of the people who harvest the food as they are about whether it is organic or not, then we probably wouldn't need videos like this. In the end, who cares if it is organic if your society tolerates such cruelty to workers.

Thank you for posting this compelling documentary film, and thank you to the Strawberry Pickers for organizing in the name of freedom, equality and justice in the labor market. There is not enough organizing around labor issues, and this film's scant 752 views is testament to this sad fact.... We would be wise to wake-up to the reality of labor rights in the USA and abroad, and not tolerate this human rights atrocity.

They need to come up with machines to do this work so we can keep these Mexicans out of the USA
