Rollins
College kicked off National Farmworker Awareness Week (March 24-31, 2013) with
an early showing of Sanjay Rawal's documentary, FOOD CHAINS, which, in the
director’s words, explores the state of labor within
the agriculture sector in the US and the immoral practices that
affect the lives of countless thousands of farm workers.
Many areas of Florida are portrayed in his film as are
interviews with former Lake Apopka farmworkers Geraldine Matthew, Linda Lee,
and Betty Dubose.
