H-2 Worker (90 min.) 1990 US
by Stephanie Black Stephanie Black has a record of making films about the real costs of economic development including Life and Debt about the economic destruction in Jamaica because of IMF policies. In H-2 worker, we learn about the real labor conditions of agricultural workers who are brought to the US and then used virtually as slave labor in the H-2 program. These workers who are brought in to Florida’s Lake Okeechobee area from Jamaica and the Caribbean are the “slave” workers of America providing great profits for the agricultural owners and misery for the workers and their families. It also is connected with the efforts in California by some leading politicians to bring back the “guest workers” program. Awards: Sundance Film Festival 1990 Grand Jury Prize and Cinematography Award http://www.lifeanddebt.org/h2worker/ See also: http://www.roxie.com/events/ http://www.laborfest.net/2009schedule.htm
