After reports of widespread injury and abuse of migrant workers working in slaughterhouses, Human Rights Watch determined that slaughterhouse work may be one of the most dangerous factory jobs in America.

ICE conducted the largest immigration raid in US history at slaughterhouses in the past year - arresting and deporting undocumented workers.

SUSANA is about a former slaughterhouse worker of the same name, as she returns to the scene at night to care for animals on their way to the kill floor despite the danger to herself and her family.
