The film focuses in particular on approaches to education, including scenes of pre-school, high school and adult education classes in English literacy, math, Mexican culture, auto repair, and metalworking. Several interviews are interspersed throughout the film, including one with a family at home commenting on their lives in Oregon and the opportunities available to them. A description of processing and sacking onions is likewise included, as is a job interview with a potential food processing plant worker.
