The Migrant Child Farmworkers – Now High-Profile Professionals© is an original documentary short film (executive producer Diane Wagner ’87, director Jesse Gift) featuring Xolo Maridueña, star of Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai. This poignant and inspiring film showcases eleven children, mostly of poor farm-working families, who overcame homelessness, hunger, poverty, neglect, and abuse to become successful and prominent members of our society. As children, many worked full-time as migrant child farmworkers with their earnings going to help the family survive. Today they are engineers, doctors, lawyers, medical professors, researchers, educators, and leaders elected to the U.S. Congress and California State Assembly and Senate. Their achievements, in defiance of formidable odds, societal cruelty, and adversity, are a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
