“The stereotypical role of Latina immigrants as domestic workers is so integral that their presence acts as a silent backdrop to everyday life around the city. Filmmaker and Boston University alum Anayansi Prano set out to give these women a voice.
On Tuesday night, Prano appeared at Boston University for a presentation of her documentary, ”Maid In America.” The film, which chronicles three years in the lives of three Latina domestic workers in Los Angeles, has been broadcast on the PBS series Independent Lens and has garnered critical buzz and media attention. Even so, the small confines of a BU basement, where the screening took place, lent an intimate and emotionally charged quality to the atmosphere.”
