The Migrant Child Farmworkers-Now High-Profile Professionals©, is the original documentary film featuring Xolo Maridueña (Star of Blue Beetle, and Cobra Kai) as on-camera presenter. The film tells the mostly unknown stories of high-profile professionals who once were full time migrant child farmworkers.* Their journeys out of the fields were not easy, but dramatic and even dangerous. During childhood they suffered seemingly impossible hardships including homelessness, hunger, poverty, neglect and abuse. Inspiringly, in spite of all this, they became highly successful, both personally and professionally.

Today, they are doctors, medical researchers, lawyers, engineers, leaders in education and elected members of the U.S. Congress and California state government. With impressive accomplishments such as the authoring of hundreds of scientific research papers published in the New England Journal of Medicine; contributing to the development of pivotal Apple products such as the iPad and MacBook Pro; teaching medicine at Stanford School of Medicine and UCSF Fresno and much more.

Their lives are a demonstration of what is indeed possible for anyone. A reminder to audiences that every child is endowed with limitless potential, no matter their background or circumstances. These success stories authoritatively debunk today’s narrative about migrant farm laborers, Latinos, people of color, refugees, immigrants and all marginalized by our society.
