Plot Synopsis

Created by Lauren Swickard and Ali Afshar, CASA GRANDE is a five-episode bilingual drama series that follows the tales of California's hardworking, often undocumented migrant workforce, as well as the wealthy landowners in Northern California. The glimmering, upper-crust culture could not exist without the unyielding, backbreaking, labor of the socially invisible migrant workforce laboring behind the scenes. With the Clarkman Farm and its neighboring property, Dalton Farm, employing, housing and feeding much of the Mendocino County's undocumented immigrants, This limited series is an upstairs/downstairs story transposed from turn-of-the century English countryside to rural America, while using the framework of conventional character drama to explore universal themes of class, immigration, culture and family. All five episodes of CASA GRANDE dropped on Monday, May 1, 2023 on Freevee.
