“This movie could be a Canadian version of a Ken Loach film. It could be a documentary as well as it tells the story of a young woman employed as the u0026#39;translatoru0026#39; and coordinator between the director of a corn plant and workers coming over from Guatemala. She will go beyond her assignment in order to protect these workers from many abuses. Acting is excellent and everything in this movie is credible. Everything weu0026#39;re being told is probably not very far from reality. This is a deeply shocking but also moving film. I saw it at a screening during the French Film Festival in Namur (Belgium) in the presence of the very talented actress Ariane Castellanos and director Pier-Philippe Chevigny. I hope it will be widely released as it really deserved to be seen across the world. It takes place in Quebec but could be anywhere where foreign workers are coming to work.”
