DESCRIPTION:Who Will Pick The Avocados? (22 min.) (2007) - Israel\nBy Shiri Wilk  \nAn 
 international trade union delegation studies the labor market in Israel’s 
 agricultural sector. The six delegates hail from the US, Spain, Germany and 
 Thailand. Invited by The Workers Advice Center, they witness a sector that 
 is manipulated by profit-driven personnel companies in a context of 
 volatile political conflict. The Israeli filmmaker presents the hardships 
 of three groups: local Arab women, thirsty to improve their life by finding 
 work; Thais who arrive bonded by huge debts, ready to compete for jobs at 
 any cost; and Palestinians stuck behind the separation wall.
