Documentary "American Harvest"








This is from a blog post by Angelo Mancuso the producer of the film "American Harvest."

"Politicians and Americans for that matter should take a look at "American Harvest." Its a non-partisan feature length documentary about immigration as it relates to agriculture. It presents the facts as they are without political bias. http://www.americanharvestmovie.com American Harvest Synopsis Anti-immigration sentiment sweeps across America. A journey from Florida to New York, including a trip to the Mexican border, reveals the lives and issues of legal and illegal migrants and farmers working toward a better life. Is the immigration system in America flawed? Immigrants are dying to feed America. American farmers and agriculture rely on immigrants to do jobs that Americans won't do or feel that are simply beneath them. Some only see the problems in the news from the perspective of those extreme points of view of the left and the right side of our political system. Discrimination of immigrants has existed in the United States since the English persecuted the Irish. It was once generally considered that if you were Greek or Southern Italian you were not white. American Harvest points out the inconsistencies of the current policy on immigration. See the changing face of immigrant America as it relates to Agriculture. Follow legal and illegal farm workers and the farmers caught in the middle of a flawed immigration policy."

Marie-Theresa,

Thank you for supporting my film "American Harvest"

I would encourage readers to visit http://americanharvestmovie.com and sign up using the email opt-in. We will let you all know when there is an opportunity to see the film in your area.

We are trying to show distributors that there is an audience that wants to see this documentary in theaters.

This film will go a long way in helping unappreciative Americans learn that they shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them.

Thank you again for this post.

All the best,

Angelo Mancuso
Director
American Harvest (the Real Truth About Immigrant America)

Angelo

Yes, please let us know when it will be available. Or perhaps at some point we could arrange a viewing at the University of Houston.

Best
