Leaving Home (We Do the Work) Movie Review 1992

Thousands of workers have been wrenched from their jobs as factories have pulled up stakes and moved to Mexico to find cheap labor. Interviews with American workers reveal concern over unstable employment while Mexican workers talk about the difficulties of living on subsistence wages. The underlying message is that the conflict is between big business and labor, not the workers from different countries.
