Storyline
Being forced to sell his land, Jared Teeter share with his family in search of a better life in Florida. They discover, like many other immigrants in Appalachia that work is scarce. Jared is reduced to working the fields in a forced labor camp called "Angel City". Creedy, the supervisor of Angel City is a sadistic man who maintains discipline through violence and intimidation. Days too long, too little pay, a lack of food, inadequate shelter, inhumanity and cruelty in Angel City encourage Jared to an escape attempt. He failed and he suffers. But he takes revenge on Creedy again when looking for a new girl for his harem: the daughter of Jared Teeter. Written by markyoloup

Prime Video has you covered this holiday season with movies for the family. Here are some of our picks to get you in the spirit.
I'm one of those people that enjoys Ralph Waite in everything. I am sure it has to do with the fact of watching him for so long on the Waltons. I also prefer older films to anything new, so I tend to really scour titles looking for things to watch that I have never seen. In comes this title, I read the description, saw the actors and said - sure let me give it a try.
Wow. You can kind of say it is a 70's version of Grapes of Wrath (somewhat). The story line is as old as time and if you know about migrant workers you have a little background on what can happen. The acting is believable....it truly is, and at a couple points in the film you actually are on the edge of your seat - and will really get you thinking.
Hard to write something really descriptive because I don't want to give anything away - since EVERY scene in the movie grabs you and is important.
Grab the popcorn, a blanket and tell everyone to leave you alone one evening and watch it!
