This is a documentary about women who came to America to work illegally and send money back to Georgia to support their families. Each one of the women has a unique story to tell and their motives are different. These women are mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and, in addition to that, they are civilized slaves who are deliberately sacrificing their lives for their families.
