New Release from WMM!
          
Maid in America
by Anayansi Prado


"Tough-minded, emotional
and exceptionally lucid...
this eye-opening film triumphantly
gives Latina domestic workers
a face and a voice."
    - Fernando F. Croce, Cinequest

 

Three years in the making, Anayansi Prado's poignant and powerful new documentary tells the story of three Latina women who work as housekeepers and nannies in Los Angeles, just a few of the more than 100,000 immigrants from Latin America working in LA today. This crowd-pleasing doc premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival, prompted an added second screening at the Los Angeles Film Festival and screened recently at the Newark Latino Festival. With exceptional sensitivity, MAID IN AMERICA reveals the diverse struggles, triumphs and aspirations of three domestic workers and presents a complex portrait of the immigrant experience.

 

Also available from WMM's Latin Collection:

I Wonder What You Will Remember of September by Cecilia Cornejo
In this haunting short, Cecilia Cornejo, a Chilean citizen living in the U.S. presents her personal response to the events of September 11, 2001. Shaped in large part by her parents’ recollections of the Chilean coup on September 11, 1973 and conversations with her own young daughter post-9/11, she offers a striking new context with which to view the World Trade Center attacks.

La Cueca Sola by Marilu Mallet
This multiple award-winning doc features interviews with five women who lost fathers, sons, husbands and friends during the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. The film paints a vivid portrait of the country's past and the courageous work toward democracy being carried out today.
