Made in LA

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia?  How is it different?


they both get less then the minimum wage, they both have families, and they both work about 12-hours a day. the difference is that the workers in indonesia are payed less, have a worse condition, and they have oversized rodents


2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops?  Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at Mcdonalds?


the poor immigrants need work that doesn't require papers, and the first place they find is sweatshops. they make so little money, they can't get out, the little money they make goes to food and shelter. they have no way out. they can't work anywhere else cause they don't have papers and they can't work without papers


3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie


i think in the end the immigrants will team up and find a way to go to the president of forever 21 and tell him there conditions.
