CINEMA AND RESISTANCE | In partnership with Funambules Médias
A discussion with Maxime Thibault-Leblanc from the Quebec Network for Assistance to Migrant Agricultural Workers (RATTMAQ) will follow the film.
The Pickers takes us into the fields of Europe, where our fruits and vegetables are harvested. In southern Italy, Seydou, originally from Mali, picks oranges without a contract, paid by the crate, living in a camp without water or electricity. Like him, a million migrants work in fields across Spain, Greece, and Portugal, often undocumented, underpaid, and exploited. Invisible yet essential, they are the ones who fill the shelves of our supermarkets.
