Surviving early American cinema could give viewers the impression that the major labor issue of that time was the boozer worker. So this work, while lacking the artistic touch of A Corner In Wheat (1909), still serves a useful purpose. Indeed, upon further research, I was shocked to learn that over a century later, in 2021, Human Rights Watch reported that the US still has failed to protect child farmworkers, who endure long working hours in hazardous occupations, with no minimum age limit.
