A THOUSAND PINES

In this tale of labor and family, A THOUSAND PINES shines a light on the precarity of temporary work visas as Raymundo Morales leads a crew of workers who made the challenging decision to leave their families in rural Mexico to plant commercial pine forests in the U.S. Following the workers over the course of a planting season, the film examines the struggle to balance the job’s physical demands and extreme isolation while remaining connected to their families back home and ultimately, becoming a family of their own.
