MAID IN AMERICA

Director, Producer | 58’ | 2005 | Independent Lens / PBS

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. Shot in a period of over three years, the film captures some of the most intimate moments of these women’s lives, both on and off the job.
