33 Duros Camp
Pedro Lopez, a Mixtec farm worker, and his three sons, who all compete in a local soccer league. The family lives in Duros, a farm labor camp of trailers in the desert in Coachella Valley. Many of the camp's residents are indigenous Purepecha migrants from the Mexican state of Michoacan. Lopez is the only Mixtec, an indigenous group from Oaxaca.
