Staff Picks Like other businesses, the wine industry has been devastated by the events of 2020. Every bottle of wine is filled with the blood, sweat and tears of those who sacrifice to make it and the loss is incalculable for so many in our region. Get an intimate look at this industry and the people in it who are rarely recognized for their contributions on Independent Lens: Harvest Season, which premiered on KQED 9 last year. The film follows the stories of individuals who are essential to the wine industry, including a veteran winemaker, a Mexican migrant worker and a Latinx wine entrepreneur whose family has worked in the region for generations, as well as the stories that unfold against the complex backdrop of reality in Napa and Sonoma. Harvest Season is streaming now through December 15 on KQED Passport. —Meredith Speight, KQED Director of Television Programming Photo courtesy of Roberto Guerra
