Made in L.A. - Go Sweatfree

"Made in L.A." (http://www.madeinla.com) follows the remarkable story of three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles sweatshops as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labor protections from a trendy clothing retailer. In intimate verité style, "Made in L.A." reveals the impact of the struggle on each woman's life as they are gradually transformed by the experience. Compelling, humorous, deeply human, "Made in L.A." is a story about immigration, the power of unity and the courage it takes to find your voice.

Between April 15th and May 31st national organizations, grassroots groups, faith-based congregations and individuals across the country will come together in a nationwide effort to share "Made in L.A." and put a human face on the issues of immigration, immigrant workers' rights, and humane immigration reform.

"Made in L.A." is available on DVD and for educational & community use. For more details visit http://www.madeinla.com.
