Los Angeles is 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." follows the
remarkable journey of three Latina immigrants working in L.A.'s
garment factories and their struggle for self-empowerment as they
wage a three-year battle to bring a major clothing retailer to the
negotiating table. A co-production with the Independent Television
Service (ITVS). A Diverse Voices Project co-production. A
co-presentation with Latino Public Broadcasting. By Almudena
Carracedo and Robert Bahar.
