Film Lens
In 'Resources', co-directors Hubert Caron-Guay and Serge-Olivier Rondeau focus on the experiences of migrant workers in Quebec as they seek employment through a community-based organization. The film captures candid conversations between these workers and recruiters, revealing the difficulties they encounter in the hiring process. The use of body camera footage provides an intimate perspective on their interactions and the realities of their situation.
The film also connects the agricultural cycle to the cattle industry, showing the nurturing of animals on ranches and their eventual fate at the abattoir. This connection emphasizes the essential role that migrant workers play in the food system, often overlooked in discussions about agriculture. 'Resources' serves as a reminder of the human stories behind the food we consume.
