ADP Worker Center thoughts on Made in L.A.

"52 people participated in this event, mostly members of the center but also community leaders in close relationship with our members. During the discussion of this documentary, the member/leader Gladis Alfaro commented: "the documentary really makes you relive feelings that many of us immigrants have lived in this country and shows the daily struggle that we immigrant workers must face. This (mistreatment, abuse, exploitation) has existed in the past, exists now and will continue existing, as long as we don't face it together as a community no matter your color or origin."

Then member/leader Elodia Sánchez stood up and said: "let's not just meet when we have problems, let's stay together so that we can face whatever comes better." Member/leader Ricardo Cerna added: "what happens in the film also happened to me and my wife, and can also happen to any of our family members. The film is very accurate in the problems that it reflects with regards to the abuses that we immigrants suffer; let's not forget to continue fighting for our rights, since these problems originate from many different sources."

Finally, Adrián García, one of the member/leaders that most encourages his co-workers to fight for their rights, respect and dignity no matter the circumstance, added: "this documentary is very inspiring for the type of struggle that we face daily in our organization; to those who feel down when they don't see progress in the issues we're working on, the documentary tells you: ‘we can do it, don't get discouraged'. THIS DOCUMENTARY IS THE DROP OF STRENGTH THAT MOTIVATES US TO CONTINUE."
