A secret agreement that will shape the middle east for the century to come world war one through our bodys own knowledge is evil. For decades thousands of sikhs from north india have migrated to italy to work in the countrys agriculture industry the hope is to provide a better life for the families theyve left behind but though their labor is vital to italys Food Production many get caught in a cycle of exploitation and abuse from which those little escape weve been to investigate. The vast agricultural plains of the i grew up and pima in central italy are one of the countrys main areas of Food Production. But many of those who live here arent italians theyre indians. At least 11000. 00 of them and possibly up to 4 times more. Mostly sikhs from punjab in northern india they are economic migrants whove come here to work in local farms and so on money. But all too often those dreams are crushed instead they can face abuse and exploitation laboring for pitiful wages and trapped in a system from which there is no escape. Weve come to hear their story. Made of friends. On the lagoon of the border illegally b. S. E. Means a lump all it doesnt dump on shoes for longer than the. 1000000 are there the number that about to get even those of them that. Become a breed that i wouldnt. Have done more but im not.

Northern italy to drain the swamps and turn them into for. Good luck the enthusiasm ive had a lot of. Door its only when theyve been on. The chair almost a little bit dont. Lay.

A century later things have improved for the italians it least. The original settlers have long gone and the Migrant Workers have moved in. Me me gets. Me to see. Me needs you and im going to. Places like. The cluster of terrorist row houses originally built for vacationers are now inhabited almost exclusively by farm laborers. That. Have to be born on the uneven integrity would. Need. An air. Only boss to put them on i said any. You do fashion. Each year the tino produces roughly 5 percent of italys total exports of agricultural products. A fair share of the fruits and vegetables that grow here find their way to italys largest wholesale agricultural market in the nearby town of from the. Scene of the g. E. Coli story not. Only be a little a lot. Its a lucrative industry but not for the Migrant Workers on whose labor it relies. We dont even if it was utilized in the us.

The board. That is. Inadequate and poorly in forced labor regulations allow farm owners to pay Migrant Workers well below industry minimums in italy usually set at 9. 00 euros an hour. Or leave a. Trace and it would be blowed you know what i would email. Illegal. Who know me and everything wed go. On all the. Oh. Nobody said a little. Recent Police Operations in the our group and tino have specifically targeted Business Owners who exploit their farm workers through trusted indian acolytes known as capital for gangmasters. Because if. You go away. I think. I mean. But the police can only do so much and against this background with such big profits at stake the agapanthus you know has become a magnet to businesses both local and international here at the moment to saying you know the lunacy of the man are the only. Reason i. Like the computer model i mean it. Is a dutch own company thats been producing vegetables in italy for over 2 decades. It be our interview we wish to remain anonymous but he worked for the company for 4 years then he decided to sue them for alleged workplace violations and learned.

Without money to not. Be needed but then they needed a dollar going to india. Oh. I turned me on. To tickets are not going in there i want. In fact a total of 11 indian workers have now sued or stolen the judgement in their case is pending we asked the companys managing director to respond to the claims weve heard. And thats only because it is imo sonogram doubt that. You have on sci fi Going Forward others are more called the more but i know they dont but the we love what i look. Oh yeah. Oh oh oh.

The middle in a fundamental which you can even pick up on of me but i mean because much of what i need you do not. Know. But the. Order the minute are made about a given up on of have been one of the people we will manage a mini. What is certain is that the large numbers of a regular indian migrants in the area feeds a rich black market for documents. Migrant laborers need a contract before they can be issued or renew an italian residence permit but often the contracts have to be bought illegally and cooperated. Well model not at the. Bottom of the border so what are. The 3 of them then one. And a contract in itself is often not enough. Migrant workers also often struggle to show theyve met the minimum income levels that are needed to renew a residence permit this is because their pay slips rarely account for the poor. Of their salary that is paid off the books. But i am going to become a variable in the league of their members of the my little cargo coming of a human will then a book out of them that i have a lot of money give them all to dog of the monarchy. Were going to put a brother and i got a couple up on me were going to eliminate them in the body mandala but im going to hit the bottom are going above him and they yell at them that i start to pull on them that im starting to hit the bottom of them on him and with the. Police say the sale of bogus contracts is now so lucrative that organized criminal groups have taken control of the market. Ive been.

But then if you are one of those who live at the top of any also just to be open i got an. Attendee cut in the miata board on the a they made. But they would never do be shame in the wood to hear the percent again just what they want me to. Suddenly say i did on this really m. B. A. To them you know getting it i didnt want to become a dyed in one of them is on the news and when they want to get in. But in the leg out of the boards out only on the. Another often overlooked aspect of the hardships Migrant Workers endure is the pressure to meet the High Expectations of families back home. The guilt that comes with failing to satisfy those expectations can have tragic consequences. Want to be with him on. The young movie it. Would be on the media. Being a pretty good there may be that it was you who do joining. Me to better board but i wont be poor but i want the love either simple what it is your. All the booty your. Boys the girardi beauty.

See will know many who want to read it he want to read it. Too much bob anybody could do what you do. Earlier this year as italy went into lockdown in response to the corona virus pandemic the authorities issued a decree allowing for paperless Agricultural Workers to regularize their status for some it would be a chance to end their exploitation for others it would come too late. On saturday june 6 as we were shooting this film we received a call from a contact in the could have been yet. We were told that yet another indian farm worker had taken his life. His name was joe bundy job on he was 25 and had arrived in italy in the center of 2019. A coworker told us how hed found job and the painting the noose around his neck was his traditional seat turban. With him i want. A word of it he said the king. That.

Job and deeps friends had told us about one of its indian employees the gang master called jimmy who was allegedly handling the sale of job and keeps papers we spoke to jimmy over the telephone. To me me personally but do you really think somebody would. Get i. Dont know that but i. Dont. Care we dont know maybe. Wed be up but i want to show you look but you know i dont. We also tried to contact johnny the owner of the company for which job on the job on work he did not respond so we wrote to him asking if he had illegally employed job on the how much money job on the it was owed and whether the company had offered their paperless employees the possibility to access the governments amnesty jenny digital i did not respond. Since the amnesty over 15000 illegal Agricultural Workers have applied for italian residence permits but your. Friend one of them was mild the gender thing whom we met earlier for him at least things seem set to get better for a little comment in that he says and i will make you to forgive me i know this is fundamentally seclusion. But i never know when the whole host of parts of the whole mentee up with the man i get out and i learned. When i had this little sense of the command dissembled you know. That when taken on video i feel on knowing their content oh yeah thats all over that i really didnt get where youre just hit with not safe from. Us. For over a century Migrant Workers have been exploited in the fertile flat lands of the. Just like the italian migrants that came to stay here before them the indians to seek a fresh start.
