Where our fruit comes from

Every year, hundreds of thousands of seasonal workers work on the plantations across southern Europe. Many of them are undocumented migrants who have come across the Mediterranean with the hope of a better future, but are instead exploited in European large-scale agriculture. Where Our Fruit Comes From is a journey to the places in the periphery that produce our food, and a search for the people behind the fruit we eat. How can we portray those who have lived in the shadows for so long that they no longer dare to come out into the light?
