Children In The Fields is a short documentary about the hidden problem of migrant children working in U.S. agriculture today. Farmworker children, parents and experts share their experiences and the reasons behind this injustice, with recommendations on what you can do to make a difference.
Filmed in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Texas, Children In The Fields will open your eyes to the plight of a population of American children who, due to unfair child labor laws and their families' poverty, work to help make ends meet.

"Every time a LEAP child graduates and attends college, I feel like I'm making a gift to the community. It's a myth that poor parents don't care about their children's education. They too have dreams for their kids. I believe that all children can learn if provided with the right opportunity".
