Harvest of Dignity is a new, original documentary created in 2011. It focuses on the lives and work of farm workers in North Carolina, providing an in-depth portrait of the people who harvest our food today. It combines interviews with North Carolina farm workers, advocates, faith leaders and educators, documentary photos and interviews collected by Student Action with Farmworkers interns and clips from the original Harvest of Shame documentary.

We will use this as a resource in our “Harvest Home” celebration this Sunday.
Thank you, will pass along to everyone I know!
Very revealing. It’s hard to believe that issues that were present when I was in grade school in the 40′s are still being tolerated today. It is heartbreaking. Another area of shame for which our country is responsible. I was left with many questions. Thank you for this documentary.
I fell on my knees in prayers after watching this powerful video. Well done. Keep it up. I would understand some of the farmworkers’ conditions as I was a laborer in a refugee camp in Indonesia in 1979, as an immigrant dishwasher and worm-picker in Canada in 1980, and now as an immigrant pastor in the U.S. since 2003. Blessings,
This was so powerful! I’m amazed and ashamed that there are so many similarities between 1960 and 2010. This documentary does so much in making this “invisible” population/issue seen. Wow. And I have so much respect for the people working to make a difference. Thank you for sharing this story…
A week ago “We Do” here in Asheville and tonight this! I am struck with how much there us to be done for justice!
I find it particularly said that there is so little involvement of the church denouncing these situations of injustice and esploitation and when there is someone that posts important articles and news like this there is such a small audience, needless to say people with comments or questions.
I just hope for a better future for agricultural workers and enlightening for those of us that are full of apathy for the suffering of others.
God bless!!
This video is so heart wrenching and very powerful. As a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I have recently joined my church’s ministry to assist the farm workers and their families who live in Virginia’s Eastern Shore. It will be my first time as a volunteer, and I hope to affect their lives in a very positive and productive way. Thank you for creating this documentary. May God Bless you, your team and the entire farmworkers and their families who live in this country.
It seems like, obviously, the majority of the farm worker community is Mexican/ Hispanic here in NC. From where I was raised, you couldn’t escape the Hispanic presence in NY. Having spent a little time in Miami, the same. But the immigrant community has grown so rapidly in NC, but the culture here does not reflect that really. Like, a swelling in the numbers, but still a silent community? Is this b/c many of the people who have come here are in menial positions like working in the field or as a domestic, and thus feel they don’t have much of a voice? I think this may contribute to the silence surrounding the abuse going on in many of these NC farms.

If these immigrant workers don’t like to work they have the choice of going back home where they could work just as hard and make half the money that there making here. Also if the American people don’t like to see these people working so hard then do away with welfare for people who are able to work and let them have these jobs. That will never happen because 99 percent of the American people are to lazy and don’t like to work. These people come here to work and have a better life and to make more money and now that there here they want to complain and wine when all they have to do is go back home and there are millions more ready to take there jobs. The agriculture industry provides food to the entire world. Back in the 60′s most people grew there own garden and raised there own food and now most people don’t even know what a garden is or have any idea how to grow one. If you don’t like the way they are doing it then grow your own food and you won’t have to support them. Idiots
