Check out this documentary about immigrant sweatshop workers' struggle for basic labor protections. This movie will help put a human face on the issues of immigration, immigrant workers' rights, and supporting humane immigration reform.
Made in L.A. is an Emmy award winning film that follows the remarkable story of three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles garment sweatshops as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labor protections from a trendy clothing retailer. In honor of May Day, they have just launched a nationwide screening campaign from April 15th to May 31st and beyond.
They are inviting student groups, grassroots organization, congregations and individuals from all over the country to join our efforts to use the film as a catalyst for dialogue, debate and, ultimately, a change towards humane labor and immigration reform.
You can find details as well as a short new web video at their online May Day Campaign page: http://www.MadeInLA.com/MayDay
