SYNOPSIS
Maid in America is an award-winning documentary offering an intimate, eye-opening look at the lives of las domésticas, as seen through the eyes of Eva, Telma and Judith: three Latina immigrants, each with a very different story, who work as nannies and housekeepers in Los Angeles, California. Filmmakers Anayansi Prado and Kevin Leadingham followed their subjects three years, and their cameras caught some of the most intimate moments of these women’s lives, both on and off the job. Release year: 2005 Running Time: 58 minutes In English and Spanish with English subtitles Available on DVD and Streaming |
