Mujeres Atrevidas chronicles the strength and persistence of female low wage, immigrant workers as they fight for their rights through their involvement with Workers Justice Project, a worker center based in Brooklyn.
Synopsis
Mujeres Atrevidas (Bold Women) centers on immigrant women's experiences directly informing this moment in the labor movement.
