The Emmy-nominated documentary Made In L.A. (Hecho en Los Ángeles) will be featured as part of the annual conference of NCGives partner Community Investment Network. Along with this free screening, CIN is also hosting a personal dialogue with its filmmakers, Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar.

This screening is open to the public and co-sponsored by the Latin American Coalition. (You do not have to register for the CIN conference to attend the screening.)

From the Made In L.A. website:

"Made in L.A. follows the remarkable story of three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles garment sweatshops as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labor protections from a mega-trendy clothing retailer. In intimate verite 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."
