AN INDIGENOUS DOMESTIC WORKER’S JOURNEY INSPIRES THIS INTIMATE YET UNIVERSAL PORTRAIT OF FAMILY, MEMORY AND LOVE. IN ROMA, OSCAR WINNER ALFONSO CUARÓN DELIVERS A VIVID, EMOTIONAL PORTRAIT OF A DOMESTIC WORKER, CLEO, WHICH ASKS US TO EXPLORE HOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR WOMEN WHO CARE FOR OUR FAMILIES AND OUR HOMES: THE REAL-LIFE CLEOS EVERYWHERE.
DOMESTIC WORKERS ARE THE UNSUNG HEROINES OF OUR CHILDHOODS AND FAMILIES. THEY ARE NANNIES, HOUSE CLEANERS, AND CARE WORKERS — MOSTLY WOMEN OF COLOR AND IMMIGRANTS. DESPITE THEIR IMPORTANT ROLES, THEIR WORK OFTEN GOES UNRECOGNIZED AND THEIR INDUSTRY UNREGULATED. TAKE ACTION AND HELP US SHIFT THE NARRATIVE.
