This book tells the astonishing story of how a group of Indian migrant workers, lured by recruiters with false promises of good jobs and green cards, were trapped in forced labor in Mississippi.

Despite facing immense challenges and obstacles, including ICE agents, company officials, and politicians who averted their eyes, the workers devised a bold plan to escape and bring attention to their cause.

Through a series of clandestine meetings, they marched on foot to Washington, DC, and staged a twenty-three-day hunger strike to demand their dignity and freedom.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex issues surrounding immigration and labor rights in the United States today.
