The Pickers

MIGRA MOVIES

THE PICKERS is a journey to European fields where our fruit and vegetables are grown. Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain – 1 million migrants are harvesting in Europe. They are the mobile working force that fill our baskets in the supermarkets, travelling from one area to the next. Most do not have contracts or minimum wages; some are illegal or have high depths with agents.
Exploitation in supply chains like chocolate or coffee is a well-known issue. The film adds another bitter taste to what we eat every day: Our daily fruit and veg is rooted in exploitation.
Seydou from Mali is picking oranges in Southern Italy. He has no contract and is paid per crate – as all the other pickers are. He lives in a self-built hut in a settlement without water and electricity.
There might be a way out of the system: Pape from Senegal is producing fair oranges in southern Italy. Could this become the new normal?
