A look at the lives of migratory farm workers, focusing on one family.Their only crime was to be born poor. Their only chance lay in their hearts. They rise every morning with the sun and work the fields all day. A story of a simple family, a family that worked hard, loved each other and hoped their hard work would produce a better life for them. And in the eyes of the son, lay that hope that allows a man to rise beyond his circumstances and like so many others, remain trapped inside a fading American dream.
