A Huichol boy harvests tobacco. Dwarfed by the plants, he is continually exposed to nicotine, polluted water, and pesticides. Many of these pesticides have been outlawed in the United States for being too toxic and are dumped on the Mexican market where unenforced labor laws and poor safety and environmental standards are the rule.
