It is a pleasure to work with the New Mexico Film Office, the Land of Enchantment has captured our hearts and we hope the audience as well,” said Jordan Rivera, Triangle U Studios, Founder – Cinematographer.
American Migrant Workers portrays the stories of American migrant workers who live in recreational vehicles and explores how they survive, how they find work in these ever-changing times, and what day-to-day life entails. Showcasing workers whose jobs vary from ranch caretaker to National Park guides, and beyond it is estimated that over 10 million Americans live in RV’s.
“New Mexico is positioned along the major historical trade route of El Camino Real and today lies at the crossroads of I-25 and I-40. Thus, the state has been a place where migrants of all types have passed through for centuries. New Mexico is the perfect place for American Migrant Workers to explore this world and tell the stories of migrant workers,” said Amber Dodson, Director, New Mexico Film Office.
