Uploaded by povborders on Aug 22, 2007
"Made in L.A." 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.

@furryburry2 why do u hate them

The reason that so many immigrants come to the US is because so many American organizations are willing to hire them. If you want to stop illegal immigration, then tell that large companies to stop hiring so many illegals. But, then, don't be angry when everything from your clothes to your tomatoes are 5 times the price.

Thank you for this documentary. Regardless of people's legal status in this country, they are human and they deserve to be remunerated for their work.

I just saw this documentary. It was extremely moving. It's infuriating that people are abused due to their undocumented status. They are abused on a number of levels, some of which aren't even touched here. Yet they have such a spirit to inspire them to fight for their rights and make changes that will not just affect them, but also potentially affect the lives of the thousands of mistreated undocumented workers in this country. Great film.
