 Almuneda Carracedo, 70 minutes
, USA)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.
