Invisible Hands
With sweat and toil, migrant farm workers provide the unnoticed labor needed to bring food to the American table, from seed to harvest.
Invisible Hands is an intimate film documenting a group of Mexican seasonal laborers in rural South Carolina. The film is set at a farm in Ridge Spring, a historically conservative community with strong links to their Confederate heritage, but also the temporary home of hundreds of seasonal workers who double the town’s population for more than half the year. The community is an island that the characters never leave except the few months they return home to Mexico. This film follows a typical day in their shoes.
