They Overcame Seemingly Impossible Hardships

The Migrant Child Farmworkers-Now High-Profile Professionals ©, is an original documentary short film narrated by Xolo Maridueña (Star of Blue Beetle, and Cobra Kai). The film features the inspiring, mostly unknown stories of ten former migrant child farmworkers (or children of farmworkers) who were either undocumented immigrants or children of immigrants. They overcame seemingly impossible hardships including homelessness, hunger, poverty, neglect and abuse.

Today, they are members of the US Congress and California state government, doctors, medical researchers, lawyers, engineers, leaders in education and more. Their impressive accomplishments include authoring 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; and teaching medicine at Stanford School of Medicine and UCSF Fresno.

Their success stories will change today’s narrative about migrant farmworkers, Latinos, immigrants, the underrepresented and the marginalized. Reminding audiences that each and every child has been endowed with limitless human potential, no matter their background or circumstances.
