Every year, some 4,000 migrant foreign workers coming mostly from Mexico labour in Québec farms to plant and pick our vegetables.
In the summer of 2006, Patricia Pérez, a pro-union militant speaking for the UFCW, launches a major drive to organize the workers in several farms South of Montreal. She informs them of their rights, protects them from abuse, and struggles to bring them together under a union that would extend to them the same rights enjoyed by Canadian agricultural workers.
This film is a portrait of a fight against the injustices of globalization not in the Third World, but here at home - in the Canadian farms that provide us with our summer vegetables.
