Eva Longoria Parker to Executive Produce Documentary

Posted by editor@vimooz.com on March 15, 2009 under Coming Soon | Comments are off for this article

Actress Eva Longoria Parker is executive producing Harvest, the second documentary film project by Shine Global, a non-profit production company that covers serious global issues like children’s physical, emotional, and social well-being.

Eva Longoria Parker will partner with Albie Hecht, co-founder of Shine along with his wife, Susan MacLaury.

Shine’s first documentary War/Dance told the story of three Ugandan children who were displaced into refuge camps against the backdrop of the country’s 20 year civil war. The film won more than 20 festival awards and was nominated for an Academy Award on 2008 for best documentary

Harvest tells the stories of children and their families as they travel long distances to harvest crops across the United States. Many of the children, unprotected by law, suffer injuries and exposure to pesticides, and work long hours in extremely hot conditions without minimum wage. However, the documentary also chronicles the successes of many of the children despite the great challenges.  [via]
