McFarland USA Interview: Jim White & Diaz Brothers
Q: Do you feel like the movie does a good job of describing the farming culture? Damacio: “Yeah, we’re very, very proud of the way the movie portrayed us, our family. We were raised in the field was our life. Even after graduating college, like Danny, the day after he graduated with [a] diploma, he was in the fields working because that was, in our family, what was expected.” Q: I wanna know is your mom really that way, because she was a scene stealer? She was amazing in the movie. David: “Not at all. [LAUGHS] Much worse.” Jim White: “When Mrs. Diaz saw this film the first time, she came out and she said I love the film, but they didn’t make me strict enough.” David: “Yeah, so just to let you know: I think Hollywood did a very good job of depicting and not making it look too guilty as regarding CPS.” [LAUGHS]
