About The Truck Farmer
An interesting little short about the exploitative system of the 1930's-50's that used cheap Mexican workers (that "cross the border on temporary work permits to *help* with the harvest").
Directed by J.F. Rosborough, The Truck Farmer leans on a strong ensemble — James Brill — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1954.
