A portrait of a rapidly changing city
After 100 years, the Anglo culture that built modern Los Angeles is on the wane. More than half of Los Angeles County is now Latino, and 40 percent of the city's population is foreign-born. This is one aspect of a rapidly changing Los Angeles that this 90 minute documentary film explores. The film contains interviews with writers, artists, architects and others who are reshaping the city, as well as readings from classic works of fiction and nonfiction about Los Angeles.
