FAREWELL FERRIS WHEEL Feature Documentary

World Premiere

There are many parallels between the lives of a migrant laborer and a carnival worker. FAREWELL FERRIS WHEEL is a year in the life of men who are both. Allotted controversial H-2B visas, the workers are grateful for the opportunity to provide for their families in Mexico, but also subject to little wage and labor protections. This thoughtful portrait, mostly set in Maryland, focuses on the workers and their struggle as well as an American institution that struggles to keep their business afloat. — Ben Krieger
