La Liga: A Documentary on Soccer, Community, and Resistance Among Vermont's Migrant Dairy Farmworkers

"La Liga" is a documentary that highlights the importance of soccer leagues in connecting migrant dairy farmworkers in rural Vermont. The film explores how these workers, facing challenges such as harsh working conditions and the fear of deportation, come together to build community, solidarity, and resistance through the sport. Co-directed by MacPherson Christopher and Paul Rosenfeld, this project received funding from the Made Here Fund. You can catch the premiere of "La Liga" on Vermont Public's PBS station at 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 13th, and it is also available for on-demand viewing.
