Study Up For 'Think': Alone And Far From Home, Women Migrant Workers At Risk

'Rape In The Fields'
/
FRONTLINE

What dangers do female migrant workers face as they work in fields and packing plants to provide for their families? How much is law enforcement doing to help them? We’ll talk at noon with Lowell Bergman, producer of the PBS Frontline documentary Rape in the Fields. The film airs tonight on KERA Channel 13 at 9.

Bergman heard from women who talked of their abuse or rape for the first time as he completed this year-long reporting effort along with the Investigative Reporting Program at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and the Center for Investigative Reporting. Here's a trailer for the doc:

Lyndsay Knecht is assistant producer for Think.
