Review

Made in L.A. takes the viewer through the lives of three Latina immigrant sweatshop workers in L.A., who fight the exploitative conditions of the garment industry. They fight relentlessly for three years against the clothing retailer Forever 21 to win basic labour protection like unpaid and overtime wages from the company. In the process, with the help of the Garment Labour Center, these women are transformed from invisible, undocumented women workers into strong, empowered women who take charge of their lives and destinies and emerge as winners, united in their struggle.
