*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I watched this CBS Reports short work for a college class. As is the case with most of the work of Edward R. Murrow and his investigative production team, the story is a powerful depiction of life. The impoverished children of migrant workers who wish to continue their education and thereby escape their world of harsh traveling work, but do not have the means. It shows the government to be inactive in the care of these people, many of who are American citizens, even in providing basic protection, such as not "packaging" or cramming them together onto trucks that placing them in grave danger if there is a traffic accident.
