The video describes how pesticides enter the body, the symptoms of poisoning, ways to minimize exposure, and includes interviews with union leaders, physicians, and a lawyer advocating changes in pesticide laws and usage needed to protect farm workers. This video has a written curriculum with that accompanies it with the same title. Both the video and the curriculum are available in Spanish under the title Cosecha Dolorosa.
