Losing ground: Another Look at Made in L.A

An inspiring if flawed documentary, Made in L.A. follows three Los Angeles sweatshop workers as their lawsuit against a low-price retail label and the community campaign to support them developed from 2001 through 2004. Enthusiastically received by critics and activists in 2007 when it was broadcast on PBS’s P.O.V. series, the film received even more praise in 2008 when it won an Emmy for “Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story- Long Form.”
