Any of you eating lunch now? How about dinner? Maybe some vegetable and fruits?


Did you know that what you’re eating might be picked by someone A LOT younger than you? I’m producing a short film to address that issue with Erin Li Silka Luisa Susumu Kimura. Please take time to read it and support To The Bone if you can, Thanks! This film is supported by Film Independent Project:Involve Fellowship.

Just last month, the US House had a meeting to address the issue of child safety on farms: (Washington, DC) – The US House Small Business Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade is holding a hearing on February 2, 2012, on proposed rules to prevent child farmworkers from taking on the most dangerous tasks. The new rules are intended to make paid farm work safer for the hundreds of thousands of children in the United States who labor in agriculture. They would not apply to children working on their parents’ farms. Read more of the article: Human Rights Watch

Director’s Statement TO THE BONE is a coming-of-age story about a pre-teen migrant farmworker who attempts to defy her father and rebel against the status quo with unintended consequences for herself and her family. California farming, which grows over half of the nation’s fruits and vegetables, is inherent to the state’s identity and essential to its economy.  The fields are idyllic, but they also shield the much darker existence of child farm hands who are growing up as America’s working poor.  We examine present-day democracy by highlighting the dramatic disparity that exists, despite laws that supposedly guarantee equal rights.   The story is inspired by true events in the lives of child migrant workers in California.  Only 55% of child migrant workers will graduate high school.  They endure some of the most dangerous working conditions in the country and face wage exploitation, sexual abuse and sometimes earn only two or three dollars per hour. As of now, there is no legal protection for these children and I hope that this film will help further that cause.  Best Regards, Erin Li Film Independent Project:Involve Directing Fellow

Director’s Statement

TO THE BONE is a coming-of-age story about a pre-teen migrant farmworker who attempts to defy her father and rebel against the status quo with unintended consequences for herself and her family.

California farming, which grows over half of the nation’s fruits and vegetables, is inherent to the state’s identity and essential to its economy.  The fields are idyllic, but they also shield the much darker existence of child farm hands who are growing up as America’s working poor.  We examine present-day democracy by highlighting the dramatic disparity that exists, despite laws that supposedly guarantee equal rights.  

The story is inspired by true events in the lives of child migrant workers in California.  Only 55% of child migrant workers will graduate high school.  They endure some of the most dangerous working conditions in the country and face wage exploitation, sexual abuse and sometimes earn only two or three dollars per hour.

As of now, there is no legal protection for these children and I hope that this film will help further that cause.
