Sinopse
The southernmost county in the San Joaquin Valley is Kern County. Nestled in between Los Angeles and the San Francisco, Kern is home to two industries: agriculture and oil. During my formative years, it was my home too. And for my parents, both Mexican immigrants, it still is. They live in a house owned by my father’s employer, Paramount Citrus. Close to their home lie thousands of oil wells. And the drinking water is contaminated. Everybody’s Nuts is an essay and a portrait film that explores the choice of two individuals whose economic circumstances helped determine where they would live.
