Four years in the making, Maid in America is a one-hour documentary which explores the lives of 3 Latina immigrant women who work as nannies and housekeepers in Los Angeles, CA. Through these women's lives we'll explore the globalization of motherhood, the challenges they face while in pursuit of the American dream and the significant role they play in American households today. With the rare opportunity to glimpse the personal experiences of three courageous and hard-working women, Maid in America gives Latina nannies and housekeepers a face and a voice.
