Autumn's harvest
Description
HIV isn't just infecting the poor and socially marginalized in faraway places. It's happening right here in our own backyard. To the people who help put food on our tables. In fact, the rate of infection among migrant workers appears to be at least 10 and perhaps 20 times that of the national average. Autumn's Harvest takes an unflinching look at how HIV has found fertile ground in the often-overlooked migrant community. The story is told through the experience of Douglas, an African American migrant worker who was diagnosed with AIDS in the mid '90s. Autumn's Harvest compels us to reflect on and respect where our food comes from. And even more important, from whom.
