| Title | PBS Special: Migrant Workers - MAY 28 |
| Body | NOW with Bill Moyers PBS Airdate: Friday, May 28, 2004 (check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html) The working poor of South Texas are surrounded by signs of prosperity: new houses, new malls, new construction. But the economic boom in the area is actually widening the gap between the wealthy and the working poor. The dream for many immigrant families of working hard, educating their kids, and moving up the economic ladder is becoming increasingly that, just a dream. On Friday, May 28, 2004 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), NOW with Bill Moyers takes viewers inside the hardscrabble world of two migrant families trying to break out. One is a family of migrant farm workers who are forced to choose between barely earning a living in the fields or educating their kids. The other is a grandmother who's starting her life over again after the factory where she worked shut down and moved to Mexico. NOW correspondent Michele Mitchell examines this unique cycle of poverty and looks at the potential outcomes of a public policy debate that may mean the difference for the nation's poorest workers. Villanueva, A. TV worth watching... (28 May 2004). |
