In Nicaragua, sick sugar cane workers are demanding compensation from their former employer, Nicaraguan Sugar Estates Limited, one of many companies owned by the wealthy Pellas family. More than 8,000 current and former sugar cane workers suffer from chronic illness and more than 3,000 people have died. They say they were poisoned by the toxic chemicals used on the sugar cane in production. Nan McCurdy has more from Nicaragua.
