Winner of 2008 News and Documentary Emmy Award.

Made in L.A. 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 mega-trendy clothing retailer. In intimate verite 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.

This is a fundraiser for the Boston Interpreters Collective, an all volunteer group dedicated to promoting multilingual justice through language classes and interpretation for parents of children in the Boston Public Schools and community based organizations supporting immigrant rights.

Donations suggested, food/drink to share welcome. No one turned away for lack of funds.
