Latin American Film Series - The Battle of the Invisibles by Manuel de Alba

Tuesday, 28 October, 2014

"The Battle of the Invisibles: Undocumented Workers vs Supermarkets” is a 60-minute documentary film that focuses on the janitorial labor force from Puebla, Mexico and the exploitation of their labor by major U.S. supermarkets. It also tells the story of how thousands of workers from a rural town in Mexico became employed by California's grocery stores and engaged in a five-year struggle against labor abuses by powerful supermarket chains including Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons.

Following a screening of the documentary will be a Q&A Session with Manuel de Alba.
