TALK / FILM SCREENING

No Sweat present:
'Made in LA'
Saturday 19th September – 5pm till 7pm
_________________________________________


Anti-sweatshop campaign group ‘No Sweat’ present a screening of 'Made in LA', an Emmy award-winning feature documentary that follows three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles garment sweatshops, as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labour protections.

In intimate observational style, 'Made in L.A.' reveals the impact of the struggle on each woman’s life as they are gradually transformed by the experience. Compelling, humorous, deeply human, 'Made in L.A.' is a story about immigration, the power of unity, and the courage it takes to find your voice.
