From Housekeeper to City Council: Help Tell Carmen’s Story

Comments

05/22/2013

Carmen Castillo is a UNITE HERE union steward, immigrant and 19-year veteran hotel housekeeper. In November 2011, the single mother of three from the Dominican Republic won election to the Providence, R.I., City Council. Since then filmmaker Margo Guernsey and her crew have been following Castillo at home, work, on the council and in the community.

Guernsey says the planned documentary “is a film about our democracy: who gets to participate and on what terms.”

You can find out more about the film, see a preview and help back the project at Kickstarter . You also can “Like” the film on Facebook . Says Guernsey:

We know this will make a good film, but more importantly, Carmen and her community may be setting a trend in local politics. We think her story will inspire other service workers to run for office. How would our laws change if more ‘regular’ people were elected?

Visit Kickstarter before May 31 to help tell Carmen’s story .
