young activists grappling with rapid social change and the meaning of =
globalization on their own doorsteps.
Magda Escobar runs Plugged In, a computer training center in a low =
income community just a few miles from the epicenter of high-tech =

find Plugged In a new home and receives unexpected help from President =
Clinton and Hewlett-Packard.=20
Raj Jayadev is a temporary worker who confronts the hype of Silicon =
Valley by revealing the reality of an unseen and unacknowledged army of =
immigrant workers. Hired by the world's largest temporary agency, =
Manpower, Inc., to work in a Hewlett-Packard assembly plant, he is laid =
off when he organizes other "temps" to challenge health and safety =
conditions. But Raj finds surprising and funny ways to take the =
controversy to the Internet, the public and the press.
Throughout the film, high tech CEOs and moguls comment on Magda and =
Raj's stories with revealing insights on time, technology, greed, and =
globalization.=20
Part "Modern Times," part "Bladerunner," this is the first and only film =
to take a critical look at the social impact of the new millennium's =
high technology. It will provoke heated discussion in community groups, =
high tech forums, unions, and classes in history, technology, sociology, =
business, anthropology, economics, ethnic and women's studies.=20

"Engaging and Entertaining" - Salon.com

-Robin D.G. Kelley, Professor of History,NYU Author of Race Rebels and =
Yo' Mama's DisFunktional!=20
"Piercing and powerful. 'Secrets of Silicon Valley' is an evocative, =
