Harvest of Shame (Edward R. Murrow) Audience Reviews

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
adam-koski I watched this CBS Reports short work for a college class. As is the case with most of the work of Edward R. Murrow and his investigative production team, the story is a powerful depiction of life. The impoverished children of migrant workers who wish to continue their education and thereby escape their world of harsh traveling work, but do not have the means. It shows the government to be inactive in the care of these people, many of who are American citizens, even in providing basic protection, such as not "packaging" or cramming them together onto trucks that placing them in grave danger if there is a traffic accident.
