| User ReviewSarah PMy friend Christine reminded me that I had seen this movie. A no holds barred look at the clothing industry and the status of illegal aliens in the trade. |
| User ReviewDenise OThe story of LA sweatshop workers who protested Forever 21 for three years. |
| User ReviewM DA well done, socially conscious documentary following three immigrant women who challenge the big business for wages above minimum. Branches into topics such as gender, race, and economic relations between classes and sufficiently engrossing throughout. |
| User ReviewMarjie SThe struggle of sweatshop workers in L.A. is shown sympathetically, but realistically. A leftist documentary that doesn't end on a downer. |
| User ReviewMichael LI don't know a lot about documentaries, but this one seemed pretty good to me! |
| User ReviewCampbell PA powerful documentary that shows the suffering of 3 workers in sweat shops for Forever 21. The three had suffered through many hardships and even had to go through sacrificing their home lives to make money for their families. While the movie is tragic it's way longer than it should've been. This could EASILY have been 20 minutes shorter and been just as effective with all the information needed. I understand they wanted to make their mark on an important issue and I totally get that but it got to the point where they were just force feeding info down my throat. Made In L.A. is a good doc but it just tries way too hard to be a history lesson landmark instead of just making this issue addressed more socially. C |
