Working in the Shadows

Gabriel Thompson

About the Program

A journalist goes undercover in several menial labor jobs in different parts of the country to experience (and tell the tale) of undocumented workers. He argues that to sustain the lifestyle of cheap food and delivery services, a underworld of below-minimum-wage, exploitation of workers must exist.  The event is in Tempe, Arizona.
