Maquilapolis (screening of City of Factories)

Documentary description: Just over the border in Mexico is an area peppered with maquiladoras, massive sweatshops often owned by the world's largest multinational corporations. Carmen and Lourdes work at maquiladoras in Tijuana, and it is there that they try to balance the struggle for survival with their own radicalization in this documentary.
