The Pickers The Pickers

Elke Sasse / Germany / 2024 / 80 min / Urdu, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Greek, English, Arabic, Bambara

The film takes us to fields across Europe growing our fruit and vegetables. Seydou, from Mali, picks oranges in southern Italy. He has no contract and is paid by the crate, living in a hut he built himself in a settlement without water or electricity… Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain—over two million migrant workers labour across Europe’s fields, most without contracts and earning minimum wage, some undocumented and deep in debt with agents.
