Frutos de Resistencia

The Andalusian province of Almería is home to the world's largest concentration of greenhouses. Tens of thousands of migrant workers, many of them from North Africa and Eastern Europe, ensure that the fresh produce shelves are full, especially in Germany: Germany imports a third of its produce from Almería. Officially, the workers receive the statutory minimum wage for 40 hours of work per week. But the reality is different. Frutos de Resistencia describes the everyday experience of exclusion and exploitation as well as the solidarity-based struggle for basic rights in industrial agriculture. The film, produced by the Interbrigadas, was made against the backdrop of many years of cooperation with the trade unions Sindicato Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT) and Sindicato de Obreros del Campo (SOC).
