Synopsis
In the Dominican Republic, Haitian agricultural laborers endure grueling conditions while cutting sugar cane. Each year, around 20,000 workers cross the border, drawn by promises of fair wages. Instead, they face long hours, often toiling up to 14 hours a day. Living in cramped camps, these workers lack basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and access to medical or educational facilities. "Black Sugar" documents their daily struggles and the stark realities of their labor.
