Abstract
This documentary film explores the history of domestic worker organizing in the United States, from everyday acts to larger-scale forms of rebellion and organizing. It traces the domestic workers' movement across different regions and includes Indigenous, African American, and Mexican American women, as well as immigrants from the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, Europe, and the Philippines, from the 1600s to today.
