Earl Dotter/Tennessee -Farmworkers Feed Us Al

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues:

The Migrant Clinicians Network invites you to visit our web-based

gallery www.migrantclinician.org/gallery/index.php, featuring the work of

photojournalist Earl Dotter and audio producer Tennessee , who prepared Farmworkers Feed Us All,

an exhibition of photographs and interviews from Maine’s wild blueberry, apple,

cranberry, broccoli, egg, dairy and forestry harvests. Through providing a

better understanding of farmworkers’ lives and working experiences, this

exhibit hopes to contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve agricultural

working conditions and farmworkers access to basic services in Maine and throughout the United States.

Earl Dotter and Tennessse could have gone to any state to

document the lives of farmworkers. They chose Maine because of the efforts of the Maine

Migrant Health Program (MMHP), a project that effectively works to provide

low-cost health care services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Time and

time again, the farmworkers they spoke with told them that Maine was one of but a few states where

mobile clinics and nurse outreach teams offered them health care services in

the fields and at worker housing.

This work was made possible thanks to support from the Harvard

University School of Public Health, Migrant Clinicians Network and Dr. Mike

Rowland.

The Gallery is located on MCN’s

website at the following address:
