IMMIGRATION: Rape in the Fields

Abstract: 

Bernice Yeung and Andrés Cediel give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of their documentary “Rape in the Fields.”

To Guadelupe Chávez, the roads that snaked around the endless acres of farmland in California’s Lost Hills had begun to take on a cruel similarity. Almond orchards gave way to yet more almond orchards, which bled into unending stands of pistachio trees, their branches a blur of leafy green as she drove.
