Angel City (1980) TV movie with Jennifer Jason Leigh - full movie

- Very good television movie about the exploitation of migrant workers in US farm camps. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up in the truth of the situations it depicts. Features strong performances by Paul Winfield and Mr. Walton himself, Ralph Waite. Jennifer Jason Leigh portrays the type of character she would play for the next several films and TV appearances - a shy, withdrawn girl who undergoes traumatic events but emerges as a survivor. Her acting has progressed notably from her previous TV movie, The Young Runaways.
This channel is a tribute to my favorite actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. None of the videos on this channel are commercially available. If any become available (and I hope they do) I will remove them immediately.
All Jennifer Jason Leigh, all the time on jjlchannel & jjlchannel2.
I vaguely remember this movie. It came on TV when I was 4 years old. I've been searching for it for a good long time. I'm happy to have found it.
Hello! great movie
Yeah why don't you thank ole JJ for posting it.
@@partslig123 the gratitude is indirectly a "Thanks". Peace be with you. "Isa"
Top movie thank you. It is relevant today - we livein a world run by greedy psychopaths and war mongers - we all have to stand up and say no more just like these people did.
Watched this movie as a child. It was so heart breaking to see the cruelty of the employers. I'm glad they got out in the end
🗣️🙏🙌🙏🙏🙏💯‼️😃💝❤️
I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid. It's a great movie. Thanks for sharing it 😊
I saw this movie late at night back in the 80's when I was a kid and it always stuck in my head since then, fortunately someone on IMDB directed me here.
Hi you tube . I wanted to say thank you for posting this great movie I . Didn't even know work camps like this.. were for real .... Why couldn't all the people leave ... And get the hell outta there
Wow, what an awesome and inspirational film, thank you.
Ralph and the daughter played on the Walton's
Great movie. So very sad that things like that are really going on in this country and around the world. 😥😥 I pray for our heavenly father, Jehovah to give those who are oppressed by the evil ones that participate in such an outrageous and despicable deeds 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I pray that Our heavenly FATHER JEHOVAH gives them strength to endure their plight 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen 🙏🏽🙏🏾❤️
let's be honest here, the whole place could've ganged up on the Mr Creedy and his thugs ages before Teeter and his family got there
Yes why didn't all those exploited worker's stand up against that all powerful employer ? Must be because they weren't members of the harvest workers UNION ! Unfortunately most of these shit jobs don't like employing people who join unions , they prefer to exploit their workers and demonize unions as being " commie" organisations THIS is the result !
@@jasminejones9937 spot on Ms. Jones!
Wrong! Creedy got Jabo and Sud backing him up. You don't want to cross them.Jabo was former SOG Vietnam vet. Sud ex boxer with law enforcement background. Fighting them is easier said than done.

I love happy endings touched my soul
Happy endings. Yes yes yes
Great movie! Thanks for sharing. :)
I remember watching this on TV. A very sad movie.
This film is real working people life.
would like to see all of the career politicians in this situation
you're need to bring back an innocent love 1982 movie back on tv and sylvester 1985 movie back on tv so the people could see it again
Oh my God... poor family...
My sister were an extra in this movie
Really ? What part ?
"I see ya got yer old lady's belly all swolled up" JC ....I woulda been outta there after that. This movie is totally f#&king nuts.
"I wasn't informed about no dog" that would have sent me packing. Why he tripping abt a dog
That truckstop where he got gas in the beginning- I've been there. Before the Interstates were put in, we used to go west to the Glades and then north on the turnpike to go anywhere. We'd always stop there for gas. Seems like only yesterday.. They still had black & white water fountains.
Is that store Dade Corners?
Hope you had a good life there Connie Jean; peace to you and your family.
Couple of facts, the gas station attendant is Luke Halpern who used to play Sandy on the TV show Flipper, Sud was Elvis former bodyguard Red West.
Red West was also a regular on Ba Ba Black Sheep .
Halpin
Very good thanks
I have to admit i was cheering when they busted thru that gate. 😂 it was a prison camp .only when people become desperate they find themselves in these situations. Dad proved his strength and integrity .you cant take away the hope in human spirit.
This movie reminds me of "Nightmare In Badham County " (which is also available here on RUclips) starring Deborah Raffin and Lynne Whitfield! Movies like these scare and infuriate me!
good tv movie
2024, nothing has changed. "Price of eggs ain't worth chicken feed...milk ain't worth the hay..."
❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE THE ENDING!!!
KARMA L I V E S !!!
Miracles CAN happen if people UNITE❤❤
hallelujah its christmas in angel city!!
A trio of arch villians in Angel City
Why do people keep commenting that this is a great movie? This movie is full of sadness and depressing and injustice, and a devilish man deceives and hurts all these poor people 😢. Nothing great or good about that 😢. 💔
Deborah, that's life! On the other side of that coin, there is always HOPE. IF you do not see this, you must be hurting. Peace be with you 🙏. "Isa"
Good movie !
" i'm getting you that bathing suit you wanted " Is that what a father says to his daughter that has been repeatedly raped and held captive and she smiles and agrees? Don't these people ever learn?
I thought that was creepy myself.
First time seeing this movie
Got me crying 😭😭😭 so sad ☹ at least the ending was victory 2021 Feb 14
I hope writing a song at the end please please
yes do i know what i want
+BornToRunBarefoot please STFU and leave people alone.did you understand that?
The shows what life was really like
Actually that greedy guy looks like Jimmy jones
Good movie! Worth watching. One thing though, if my daughter had just been violated, I think the last thing I would want to be buying for her would be a little skimpy bikini.
I Forgive People sometimes I have a hard way of showing it so true
A supplemental wood heat would be great
Ignorance beget poverty and poverty begets SLAVERY.
This movie reminds me of the Government. And we all can do something about it if
"WE-THE-PEOPLE" stick together. !!!!!!!!!!
This film was there for me, right place, right time.
I was in an abusive marriage at a very low point.
Saw this movie, thought, if they can escape so can i. I left him the next day & never looked back!!
Praise God
Wow!
Praise You!🙏🙏
Good for you sweetheart God bless hope you find real love a good man 🙏💪👍
He is probably better off too that you left.
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq ill bet youd be a dandy yourself
Good movie
I like realistic movies like this, about people struggling to feed their families and how they are taken advantage of because they're so desperate. Reminds me of "The Grapes of Wrath"
I like Ralph Waite and Paul Winfield. Both were really good actors. RIP. 🙏🙏
@@rosannacellini2158 yes! I thought of The Grapes of Wrath as well.
Grapes of Wrath is one of my favourite books.
He should've took his family left when he saw the barbed wire and locks on the gates. 😱🤯
PLAY 100% AGREE BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE AS GOOD AS A MOVIE, IT DOES HOWEVER MAKE THE POINT IN THE MOVIE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE
We need a documentary about the Family Life of
Mr. Trump and open the Truth and the beauty of his family working together and successful..❤
He should've left after that weird interaction with Mr. Creepy and his daughter ! He was forewarning Mr. Teether that he was a pervert !
@@Importantly-1There are documentaries about him. He has always been a con and showman. What you're saying would be gross fiction.
Excellent movie - I LOVED it! Many lessons can be taken from this.... Don't give your power away, and if it's taken from you, you must take it back. You have much to lose if you do - your freedom and your rights. A cautionary tale that is very relevant, even (especially) in our current time and place.
Just" how I feel today.
Yeah, try telling that to Americans today April 2024. They’re so stupid they don’t even know they’ve lost their freedom.
@@patriciacole8773remember the 3rd? That statue of Mary goes all the way back to Babylon. And that Jesus picture.., lol originated from a gay man painting his lover. Borgia.., check it out because I know you don’t believe me. I stopped believing anything JUST BECAUSE I WAS TAUGHT TO OR TOLD TO. That’s no different than being a damn slave.
@Barbaraboix-id5zf we are taught from the word of God to have no graven images...the picture you are talking about is a graven image and should never be permitted into homes or churches...Jesus was not a fair haired blue eyed man, He was a Jew, more than likely a curly dark haired, dark complexion man who is a gift to Mary and the world from God. I don't take people for their word, I take the word of God from the Bible and the holy spirit that leads me and keeps me close to my heavenly Father. From the beginning of time til the end, there will be people who don't believe, there will be people who will be consumed by demons, their will be fornicators, murderers, thieves and adulterers, all because they don't believe in morals, standards and our moral code...The Ten Commandments. We, the children of God must never stop praying for the lost souls in the world.
@BarbaraBoix-id5zf The Statue of Mary is symbol of the ONLY human & woman worthy to have carried our Saviour Yeshua, our Beloved Heavenly Padre's Begotten Son. Whomever you think our Yeshua, Christ was painted by, matters not. For what matters is the truth of HIS existence, not lies perpetuated by those in denial to believe in something pure, good & wonderful. Mankind has twisted so much regarding our faith. The Bible I admit is very complex, however it works nevertheless. What I don't understand, I'm fine with, for I know with time, Padre God shall reveal it to me. This life we live makes less sense nowadays. The blatant Lawlessness, criminals allowed to rob businesses, ppl preferring to be homeless, our Veterans living in the streets & so much more. Yes, there is much beauty to still enjoy & live. Life is what we make of it, & yet one cannot ignore that we those decent simpler times are no more. Thats where our Saviour, the Trinity comes in to help us until our time comes to go home. Peace be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
Instead Of That Place Being Called Angel City It Should Have Been Called Hell City It Was Like Being in Hell .and The Good Part of This Movie is when They Manage to Escape from that Hell Hole.
What a sad place we live in ! This is still going on . “ What ever is done to the least of us is done to you / me . “ “Get up stand up ! Don’t give up the fight !”
Mr Waite and Mr Winfield. Both talented actors. They must have had great chemistry together. Thank you for the upload. Rest well gentlemen, you earned it.
Amen 🙏🏾
This was an excellent example of faith, love, strength, protection and endurance to persevere through the even the toughest of circumstances you find yourself in because of one choice that allowed someone to take advantage of your best intentions.
Heart touching when they bring her all that food, like when baby JESUS was born. Great ending. Justice served.
Saw this on CBS when I was a kid in the early 1980's. Back then TV movies were good and entertaining with a moral message. Sort of like "The Waltons" meet the "Grapes of Wrath."
+JRFrancisco20088 Funny, since Jennifer Jason Leigh was in an episode of The Waltons too.
I agree. I want to go back. But I wouldn't have my bundle of joy today.
@@NovaJake360 actually still watch waltons sometimes. Didn't remember Jennifer. She was one of my favs.
This story came to mind today.. I was realizing how most people live a version of this.. The debt has to be paid, one way or another.. and no matter how hard you work, the $ is never enough
Yep! that was before the indoctrination took place in Schools and Democrat leader Bosses indoctrinated too with fifth and Evil.
Ouch, starts out so sad, leave it to Ralph Waite and Paul - he was great in "Touched by an Angel" too. Freedom - don't ever take it for granted.
So true about freedom... thank you!👍
I'm always liked Ralph Waite, thanks for posting.
This still happens today. Got busloads of Guatemalans and Mexicans coming in to the fields. They don’t complain about the mistreatment cause they re scared.
Don't speak your language
Absolutely fantastic movie, so real and southern, even in Florida picking days.
id been looking for this for 30 years. i watched it once in about 1982 and the song stuck permanently in my head even though all i could remember was - im going home. So so glad i found this.
say wetin
I'm Going home just take my hand so I know where I am. I'm Going home please take my hand show be where I am.
Please don't ever take this away. It means more to me than you could possibly imagine.
Thank you 💕
Ahhh Jennifer Jason Leigh 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Recently watched her in H8ful Eight.
She is Very Pretty in "Easy Money". She plays Rodney's daughter Allison
15:51
Was the red flag 🚩🙄
I would have just said I changed my mind.
it was so sad in the beginning that i thought i won’t be able to finish watching this. i love it when the helpless poor and abused fights back
There are what seems like millions of movies like this . The same kind of feel to them. Especially in the 70's and 80's.
I haven't seen this movie since it came out in the 80's, I like Ralph Waite in it.
I almost forgot what a good movie it is.
Great movie watching in April 25th 2024❤❤
Watching for the 100th time on May 20,2024 ! ❤
I feel like sobbing that these ppl are so desperate they are willing to stay there. Heart wrenching.
been looking for this movie for years nice upload
I love this movie I wish they would sell it it worth it
Trivia- 'The man who wrote the book on which Angel City was based - Patrick Smith - was the PR director at a community college in Florida, and I worked for him for a year. To research the story, Pat went undercover in a camp and lived in the horrible conditions for himself, so he could tell the real story.
It's been so long since I've read the book and seen the movie, I don't remember how they compare, but Pat's book was based on things he really experienced, and I believe the movie was fairly true to that. People who feel the movie wasn't realistic might want to reconsider, or do some research for themselves.'

I hear tell that Patrick Smith was a real asshole back in the day.
@@cedricliggins7528 From Whom?
@@cedricliggins7528
I doubt you ever even heard of Patrick Smith. stop trying to stir up shit, shitposter!
@Brucev7 from whom what ??
ive seen pa walton in some other movies. what a great actor. he acts like pa walton hard worker and honest man
Not always saw him in a movie can't remember what but he played an evil slave trader nasty baddy great actor
This movie will make you cry happy tears
I've been looking for this movie for like 30 years; I watched it originally in 1980, on TV; thanks for putting it here
lot of memories,watched thiswith my family when i was a kid.back when families did that kind of thing.miss those days
I'm so happy that in the end he managed to smashed up Creedy and his cronies with the help of his little boy and his friend ,,, really happy!!!!
Thanks for telllim me.what.hapoen asshat
*"FREEDOM"* It's definitely >>>NOT
"don touch my baby!!!RIP MR.PAUL!!!
Wow,it has been 40 years since I seen this movie last time.
I remember this movie when I was in middle school. So 😥, but good movie 🎥
16:54
To lock me inside and the name, ANGEL CITY
nope, can't do it.
What a wonderful movie
Wonderful?!! Hardly. This movie was torturous except for the final few minutes at the end. It was disgusting to watch the cowardice nest of so many people. Honestly I found this movie to be incredibly frustrating because these people have known freedom and had the resources to overpower those thugs at any time, but they chose not to.
@@desertodavidart doesn’t exist to make you happy.
@@desertodavid Do you not see the similarity in life today? Just bc you walk around, does not really mean you're completely free. Look at the Lawlessness about you. Look at how the Law protects these insurances that allow ppl to die, businesses to fold, criminals to no longer respect our Emergency Agencies, allow criminals to face jail for repeated offenses, Seniors & our Elderly forced to live in those torture chambers called Rest Homes. There is way to much going on that is parallel to this movie. This movie is great in that, no matter what, ppl hold on to HOPE, as most of us do. Peace be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
@@williamhenderson1521 you should back off on the gummies. They're gumming up your brain.
Excellent movie - its a tragedy that modern slavery is still going on and stories like these are true today. as ever.
Just like contract security and the 🚚 trucking industry. They overwork people.
@Jessica Brand yes all over the world - so sad that this is tame compared to human trafficking TODAY

Jennifer Jason leigh will make guest appearance on the waltons one year later she play old girlfriend of Jim bob walton
OMG .... I saw this movie prolly 30years ago and didn't know the name. I remember sitting at home (back in the day when there was only 13 channels) and by accident this movie came on and I thought it was brilliantly done. Been looking for this movie all this time. so right now I typed in bing search (the father that played on the Waltons) and Ralph Waite name came up. Next I typed in (All of Ralph Waite movies). Well none of the movies looked like the one I saw so I then when back to bing and typed in (Ralph Waite takes) and when I had written the word takes the search engine popped up Angel City... Which brought me to RUclips... God Bless YOUTube God bless the INternet!!!
I see I am not alone in searching for this movie for over 30 years...I wonder what so many of us wanted to know the name of this movie and to see it again...is there some greater purpose or just random coincidence?
Great movie from my childhood,Paul Winfield's voice on par with the smooth Mr Morgan Freeman...where do the years go!
I remember back in the day when, if you were lucky, and you had a younger sibling you could pick on, if she held the rabbit ears in the right position you might, you just might, get two stations on TV. And you only got to do that on a rainy day because there was no way your mom was going to have you indoors when the weather was good.
@@scootergurl48 ......So, how long did your sister hold on to those rabbit ears for??
@@MrLyndarenaud
Till my Mom came in and said 'Stop picking on your little sister'! HAHA
I watched this movie when i was very young, and been looking for it since, it just came to my mind now and i got it....thanks

Slave workers he stood up to creedy but he should have left moment he was locked in gate ,the black guy in store helped him by unlocking door in back he said run man run took his daughter n those others kids very sad creedy was a sob
Jennifer Jason Leigh was always an incredible performer! Her acting in this is as good as anything she's ever done!
At the time of this movie, her father Vic Morrow was still alive.
omg this is like a horror story. if you have ever done farm work you might relate to why i say that. this is a really well made film with really good actors and interesting plot. it hits really deep. so sad.
Just seeing the camp looks terrifying.
GOOD MOVIE. It's very important to be United and always protest the wrong. Nothing is impossible, you have try try and try, God will show a way out.
Thanks for the movie.
wow i was searching for this movie long long hard times ... just for the song at the end iam goin home. thank you my friend
This is a great movie!
I love this movie...so sad, but great at the end. Does anyone know where I can find " The New Land"??
Good 🎥 my mother loves it she the one told me to watch it.
Lots of lessons to learn from this worth watching movie,Thanks for sharing/
My brother told me about this movie. Best movie I've seen in too long.
Kim Coen ... man, I'm in 45 minutes & just found out what it's really like at the camp. I can't stand things like this! I can't say I'd ever be able to call it a good movie even if they get the law & GET them arrested.
@@ohwhatelse .....If, this movie is making you as angry and upset as I am then, it is a good movie and has done its purpose. To make you stand up against the injustices in our world!
Good movie. Horrible story.
I wonder whether this kind of labor camp existed in the U.S.
These camps exist right now in the United States 2022. The only difference is they're run by cartels who use illegal immigrants as workers.
Wish I could find the song "Goin' Home" online. It's a bit choppy in this video, and not complete in the end credits. Even Billy Preston doesn't list it anywhere that I could find.
At the end in the credits, they all look so well-groomed with clean clothes. What did they do, stop by the Y?
Thank you remember this when I was lil great movie
Florida was still so wide open and not many people back then not that way today.
@Paulaking Hey Paula. I see you're comment was some time back but hoping you get this. I'm wondering if you were or still are in Homestead/Fl City area and if so where was that gas station at?
Nice surprise. Thank you.
Christmas is a pagan holiday that comes from pagan Egypt and Babylon. Jesus was not born on December 25th. December 25th is the pagan winter solstice celebration rituals honoring baby Tammuz.
