Harvest Of Shame, an interesting and touching black and white documentary from the early 1960s, documents and exposes the deplorable lives of thousands of American migrant cultural workers narrated and dissected by one of the best and early American television journalists called Edward Roscoe Murrow. The main goal of this film is not only to show the poor and miserable lives that all these people live, but to let all other Americans know that they are above these workers in the social and wealth ladder that people who collect their fruits, vegetables and cereals have no voice, power and help to fight the injustices and mistreatment they suffer. The film opens with rural images of thousands of migrant workers being transported by truck with a brief introduction by Edward Murrow and some occasional interventions taken from parts of an interview given to the Minister of Labor after seeing the impactful images, and to the various people who have seen the lives workers lead.

Although these potential improvements appear to be substantial and beneficial, changing the views that many workers and farmers held in the past, not all people receive the same treatments and benefits shared by some companies, thousands of immigrant workers have become the new silent slaves of the America.
