Promised Land

A documentary-style drama following migrant workers in the agricultural regions of Spain, examining the harsh conditions and exploitation they face as they toil on farms producing fruit for European markets. The film interweaves the stories of several individuals from Africa and elsewhere who have made dangerous journeys in search of a better life, only to find themselves trapped in cycles of poverty and precarity. Winterbottom blends fictional narrative with real testimony to draw attention to the human cost behind the food on Western tables.
