Rating: 3/5 --
Rawal takes a compassionate but dry approach that suggests he's focused on making a call to arms, not art.

New York Daily News
Americans remain all too disconnected from those who toil in grim living and working conditions to supply their food. Maybe it's about time to worry.

How miserable does your day have to be to transform the breeze from a pesticide spray into a blessing?

Rating: 3/4 --
At the end of the day, Rawal is trying to make a point more than telling a story. It's hard to blame him, because we've avoided this shameful problem for too long, and for a change, someone's actually offering a reasonable solution.

San Francisco Chronicle
[Food Chains] should literally be seen by every American who unquestioningly lifts fork to mouth for their three squares a day.

Film Journal International
Because of the narrative's need for closure, the film bizarrely recasts the lost battle as something uplifting.

Description by OLDIES.com:
There is so much interest in food today, but there seems to be no interest for the people that pick and handle the food. In America, farm labor has always been one of the most difficult and poorly paid jobs and has relied on some of the nation's most vulnerable people. While the legal restrictions which kept people bound to farms, like slavery, have been abolished, exploitation still exists, ranging from wage theft to modern-day slavery. This exploitation is perpetuated by the corporations at the top of the food chain: supermarkets. Their buying power has kept wages pitifully low and has created a scenario where desperately poor people are willing to put up with anything to keep their jobs.
