MADE IN L.A. By Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar
September 4, 2007 at 10 PM (check your local listings.)
Los Angeles is now the country's center for apparel manufacturing, but many of its factories bear an eerie resemblance to New York's early 20th-century sweatshops. "Made in L.A." is a portrait of this "other" California, where immigrant workers work 14-hour days earning as little as $3 an hour. "Made in L.A." is even more the intimate story of three Latina garment workers, Maria, Maura, and Lupe, who join the growing struggle for better working conditions, and who must persist over a tumultuous three-year battle to bring a major clothing retailer to the negotiating table. A co-production with the Independent Television Service (ITVS) and the Diverse Voices Project.
