Experience the journey of a young girl, Esperanza, as she goes from living in luxury on a ranch in Mexico to a harsh life of hard labor and financial challenges in California during the Great Depression. Forced to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers, Esperanza faces a lack of acceptance that she's unprepared for. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her circumstances, with Mama's life and her own on the line.
