For the women who pick and handle the food we eat every day, sexual assault often comes with the job.FRONTLINE partners with Univision News–the award-winning news division of the leading media company serving Hispanic America, Univision Communications, Inc.–for Rape in the Fields/Violación de un Sueño, to uncover the hidden price that many migrant women working in America’s fields and packing plants, especially those who are undocumented, are paying to keep their jobs and provide for their families.While debate rages on Capitol Hill over the legal and economic impact of immigration reforms, this FRONTLINE documentary focuses on the human side of the issue: how female farm workers fall prey to their field bosses and co-workers–and dare not denounce their attackers. Otherwise, they run the very real risk that they’ll lose their jobs or be deported.
