Watch American Crime

When Luis Salazar travels from Mexico into the United States in search of his missing son, he soon discovers the servitude agricultural laborers face as they live in poverty, forced to pay their meager earnings back to their employers for food and other essentials. It's a system that doesn't only target undocumented workers, as American Coy Henson gets sucked into the world after meeting a farm crew chief and taking what he thinks is an opportunity to get his life back on track. Other lives orbiting this situation are social worker Kimara Walters, furniture supply business owner Nicholas Coates and farm owner Jeanette Hesby -- who is shocked to learn just how the business remains profitable.
