Made in L.A. follows the remarkable story of three Latina immigrants working in garment sweatshops as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labor protections from trendy clothing retailer Forever 21. Compelling, humorous, and deeply human, Made in L.A. is a story about immigration, the power of unity and the courage it takes to raise your voice. In English and Spanish with bilingual subtitles. Post-film discussion with filmmakers Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar; Guadalupe Hernandez, one of the workers featured in the film; and Katie Quan, Associate Chair of the UC Berkeley Labor Center. Made in L.A. will air nationwide on PBS’ critically acclaimed nonfiction film series P.O.V. on September 4th at 10 pm. See http://www.pbs.org/pov/madeinla for details.
