Made in LA - DVD Available for Viewing

Made in LA is an Emmy award-winning film on the three-year experience of three immigrant women who stood up to exploitation in Los Angeles sweatshops making clothing for a trendy clothing retailer.

The United Methodist Task Force on Immigration has endorsed the powerful documentary for viewing by congregations as a means of introducing and promoting dialogue on issues of immigration and justice in the United States.

Bishop Minerva Carcaño of Phoenix, Arizona, says that the story in the film "beautifully illustrates the courage, perseverance, and strength that these women show daily in caring for their families, contributing to their communities, organizing to overcome exploitation, and building a life that is both inspiring and challenging."

In Spanish and English with bilingual subtitles/En Español e Inglés con subtítulos bilingües/Color/70 minutes.
