dustin d ...And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him is a strong tale about the lives of migrant workers, the exploitation they experience, their sense of community and resilience. The way everyone outside their community (and a few within) behaved reliably horrible was a bit over-the-top, but it is an empathetic story overall. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautifully told and lovingly presented -- this is a moment in our history that begs us "no me olvides...."
