Migrant Dreams -- Description du film [en anglais] :
« When Umi and Dwipa left Indonesia to work in an Ontario greenhouse as part of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program, they hoped the jobs would provide the opportunity and income for a better life. They didn't expect that fixers and false promises would lead to deception and exploitation. Sadly, their story is not uncommon. What makes them unique is their courageous choice to speak up and fight back. Their faith in justice and their drive to break free from illegal debt-bondage exposes a dysfunctional system where unscrupulous brokers operate with impunity. While Dwipa risks losing her job, she finds love with a female co-worker, Rahmi, and they make plans to marry—an act not possible in their shared homeland. Min Sook Lee continues to speak truth to power with her commitment to providing a voice to the silenced, fulfilling documentary's capacity as a powerful tool for social change. »
