"Against backgrounds of soccer playing and children on trampolines, Latino farm workers tell us their lives: the tireless toil for low pay, the constant fight against loneliness, and the struggle of keeping together the ties of family in the face of constant relocation. It's a study of the American Dream, and it's a much-needed splash of cold water in your face."-- Drew Gemmer, The Portland Mercury
"... an aesthetically pure documentary in the verite tradition... Immokalee U. S. A. boasts a fascinating cast of characters, from Panchito, the lonely romantic who plucks his guitar with a weary hand, to the heartbreaking Mateo Diego, whose grasp on reality seems to fade with each succeeding interview. What is our collective role in this chain of servitude?, the film seems to ask us, providing an opening for self-reflection rather than didactic sermonizing."-- Maine International Film Festival
