For Rosa

THE STORY

For Rosa is a graduate USC thesis narrative film inspired by the Madrigal Ten, a group of women who were ten of many Mexican immigrants sterilized without consent while giving birth at Los Angeles County USC Medical Center during the 1970s.  This story follows Eva, a fictional mother, who after being informed of her sterilization, is faced with the life-altering decision of joining Jessica, a 26-year-old fierce Chicana attorney, and nine other women in a lawsuit against the hospital.
