Plot: Maya is a spirited young Mexican woman who is propelled by her dreams of a better life in America. After a close call with border guards and unscrupulous "coyotes" who smuggle her into the country, she arrives in Los Angeles, ready and eager to work. Her older sister, Rosa, a married woman with two children and a sick husband, is painfully aware of the realities awaiting Latinos in the U.S. But Maya is relentlessly optimistic and grateful for every opportunity, including the chance to join Rosa at her job cleaning office buildings at night. Quickly, Maya's optimism sours. Her lecherous boss demands a commission of two months' salary just for giving her the job, the hours are long, the wages are ridiculously low, and there is no security. The janitors in Maya's group are always subject to the whims of their volatile boss. Only Reuben, a young co-worker who is saving his money to go to law school, imagines a better life for himself. The other janitors are reconciled to their fates, until Sam, a young and disarming union organizer, opens their eyes. He explains that union janitors enjoy higher wages, paid vacations, and medical benefits. Maya and her friends should join the "Justice for Janitors" campaign, persuading office buildings that hire cheaper, non-union cleaning
