When Capital Flies We Remain Trailer

When Capital Flies We Remain is a provocative look at the changes in the life of Sarah Lopez, who emigrated from Mexico and began working in the agriculture fields of California at age 12. Sarah is one of 1,000 factory workers laid off in the past year due to the numerous plant closures in Salinas, California. While the town's development projects bring in shopping malls and track homes built on farmland, the increasing globalization of the market diminishes jobs in the factory and the field. Sarah's story of struggling and coping with these changes is one that exemplifies an experience common to much of the working-class in the Salinas Valley. In April 2006 the film debuted at the Reel Work Labor Film Festival in Santa Cruz.
