<div align="justify"><big><big><small>The Guestworker tells the story
of Don Candelario Gonzalez Moreno, a 66-year old Mexican farmer who has
been coming to the U.S. since the 1960s as a farm laborer. He is some
twenty to forty years older than all the thousands of Mexican men who
work in today’s United States’ H2A Guest Worker program started in
1986. Despite his age, he continues to work long hours in tobacco,
cucumber, and pepper fields, sweating and worrying – all for his
family, particularly his ailing wife. He says he still wants to work
“harder than all the others” as he did when he was a younger man, but
now knows he just can’t. Yet he is asked back, year after year, because
of his commitment to hard work, his “good attitude,” and his long-term
service to Wester Farms in North Carolina. With revealing insight,
filmmakers Cynthia Hill and Charles Thompson embark on an intimate
exploration of Cande during one particularly grueling season while
delving into this little-known guest worker program now already twenty
years in existence.</small><br>
