Amigas

In 1930s El Paso, Texas, when a bored, strong-willed Mexican-American maid, who has befriended a lonely withdrawn Swedish-American maid, loses her job for being assertive, she joins a fledgling domestic workers union. Town fathers have her illegally jailed with plans for her deportation, even though she's a citizen. She and her friend devise a plan that may save her from deportation and could set both of them on bold new paths.
Inspired by true events.
