The videotape begins with a review of the lifestyle of the typical migrant farmworker. The physical and health problems associated with exposure to pesticides, cramped living conditions, lack of sleep, lack of child care, and poor nutrition are addressed. This population also experiences a feeling of isolation from their culture and families. The AIDS epidemic is a great threat to this community and there is a need for increased outreach, education, and prevention programs. The use of drugs and alcohol often leads migrant workers to engage in high-risk behaviors, and the fear of rejection based on homosexuality often further isolates infected farmworkers. Those interviewed for this videotape include health care workers, outreach workers, and the farmworkers and their families. They discuss both the progress that has been made thus far in terms of prevention and education, and the work that remains to be done. MJ Migrant workers . Family relations . Hispanics .
