Join us for the San Francisco Premier Screening of Made in L.A.- a remarkable documentary about immigration, sweatshops and the courage of three extraordinary women.
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.
Also learn how we can work together to ensure that the San Francisco Sweatfree Ordinance is enforced.
Film event presented by the UC Berkeley Labor Center and Active Voice. Co-sponsored by KQED with Amnesty International Western Regional Office, Asian Immigrant Women Advocates, Bay Area Immigrant Rights Coalition, Global Exchange, ITVS, Mujeres Unidas
