Return to Short Films

Set in 1965 California, a trio of immigrant Filipino farm workers can feel a strike coming as tensions over wages build between workers and farm owners. When one of our trio, Agani, is accepted into NASA’s astronaut program, he must decide whether to leave for NASA and follow his dream or stay and strike with his fellow workers.
