A documentary about the 1980s struggle to establish the Canadian Farmworkers Union which was spearheaded by the Sikh community in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia.

" On April 6, 1980, the Canadian Farmworkers Union came into existence. This film documents the conditions among Chinese and East Indian immigrant workers in British Columbia that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and labour contractors to the threat of unionization. Made overa period of two years, the film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the worker's movement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members."
