Mama Illegal is a film about the sacrifices made by three Moldovan women who leave their homes and families to work illegally as cleaners in Italy and Austria. 

Enduring long separations from their children, and leaving their families to face the hardships of life in Europe's poorest country, the women hope to pave the way for a better future.

Director Ed Moschwitz follows the women from 2004-2007 in an attempt to shed light on the often ignored suffering of economic migrants.
