"A valuable and moving film- and entertaining as well - precious…
a document of an experience." LOS ANGELES TIMES
 
 Synopsis of film: Maria, Lupe and Maura are three Latina immigrants struggling to survive in
Los Angeles sweatshops. But one day, determined to win basic labor
protections, they embark on a three-year odyssey that will transform their
lives forever. 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.
