THE GREAT ESCAPE: A True Story of Forced Labor and Immigrant Dreams in America
In late 2006, Saket Soni received an anonymous phone call from an Indian migrant worker in Mississippi. He was one of 500 men trapped in squalid Gulf Coast "man camps," surrounded by barbed wire, crammed into cold trailers, and watched by guards. Traces the workers' extraordinary escape, their march on foot to Washington, DC, and their 23 day hunger strike.
