*Product of Mexico* (2014) is a multi-part series that documents the exploitation and harsh conditions faced by laborers at Mexico’s mega-farms which are main suppliers of produce to American consumers. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2015. I composed the original music for the video documentary.
