NBC’s ‘American Crime:’ You’re Ignorant if You Don’t Feel Guilty About Your Food and Clothing
By Dawn Slusher | March 27, 2017 | 8:02 AM EDT
 

This season of American Crime has been documenting (no pun intended) the plight of illegal immigrant farm workers as well as prostitution and drug use/addiction. In Sunday night’s episode, “Season Three: Episode Three,” all three issues were somehow tied together, as farm owners Jeanette (Felicity Huffman) and JD (Tim DeKay) attended a worker’s rally.

As Jeanette, who has longed to somehow put a stop to the deplorable living conditions and poor treatment of the workers, listens to the meeting, her ingénue eyes widen and blink with innocent concern, as the camera pans slowly away from her to create heightened emotion while the speaker concludes his speech.
