Read what people are saying:

"Labor protest is not dead. Nor is it futile, according to Made in L.A., an excellent documentary about basic human dignity."
Andy Webster, New York Times


"With Made in L.A., Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar show in vivid detail that, at a fundamental level, immigration is not simply an issue of competitive intermingling of people, but that it is also an issue of the assault on universal human dignity in the face of enormous global economic pressures. Ultimately though, they show that despite the political or economic vices twisting down upon the planet, the elementary human spirit remains the most powerful force at work."

New Mexico Governor, Bill Richardson

"Better than any film I have seen, Made in L.A. depicts the real stories of women struggling for--and achieving--social justice for immigrant workers in the U.S. A triumph."
Matthew Garcia, Brown University

"It is a valuable and moving film--and entertaining as well--not merely for what it says about the continuing need for organized labor, and of the difficulty of keeping it organized, but also about how the process affects individual lives in ways beyond the wage. A document of an experience..."
Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times

"I'm the daughter of immigrants and I have never seen anything like "Made in L.A.". I was moved to tears... I don't know if you will ever know the impact that this movie has had on me and I'm sure on many others. I want to and WILL do all I can to help immigrants in this country. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU."
Evette Gonzalez (via e-mail)

"A rousing true story of solidarity, perseverance and triumph...Deftly interweaving legal battles, national boycotts, group dynamics and individual empowerment, pic offers a personalized history lesson in class struggle."
Ronnie Scheib, Variety

One moment we're laughing, the next we're in tears. What an important story. In these days of immigrant bashing, your story resonates with "si se puede."
Christie and Dennis, Doculink

"Made in L.A. is an inspiring story of courage about immigrant women garment workers struggling for justice against overwhelming odds. For anyone who wants to understand the complex intersection of race, class, gender, immigration, globalization, and movement building, Made in L.A. is an excellent educational tool."
Kent Wong, UCLA Labor Center

It was amazing.... inspiring, heartbreaking, enlightening...
Carolina (via e-mail)

I laughed, I cried, it changed my life -- seriously!
Paige G. (after a screening)


I wept, I was depressed, I was encouraged, I was outraged! But in the end I was left with renewed determination: To continue to never allow anyone to degrade the immigrant population in any way! Thank you for making me see, learn, think, and act!!
"Kolours" (on the POV discussion board)
