5/10
long and tiresome
29 January 2012
This documentary achieves it's purpose showing what a grind the migrant workers lives are.

It is particularly stressful on families as the parents leave the children to be brought up by the grandparents.

You cannot help but feel for these people working very long hours at mind numbing jobs for low pay. How good we have it here in the U.S.

The documentary goes on too long and you wonder many times how authentic it is. The parents and the grandmother are constantly talking up school and studying..how authentic is this?

Also you wonder how authentic the work situation is as in 2008 a lot of businesses closed but not these people's. Also their daughter found a job in a bar how convenient etc etc...

A documentary fails some what when you doubt it's credibility. 5 stars....plus this one could have been a lot shorter. I stopped watching it several times and picked it up later.
