These women live in fear, but they were willing to go on camera to tell their stories at great personal risk. They didn’t want to see it happening to other women.

Lowell Bergman, Frontline Correspondent, in RIOGRANDEGuardian

The result of a yearlong collaborative reporting effort between FRONTLINE correspondent Lowell Bergman, the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley, and the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), “Rape in the Fields” exposes the abuses of migrant women working in fields and packing plants. The project was presented as a documentary feature airing on FRONTLINE and Univision, as well as a feature article, infographic and animated short film produced by CIR.
