Stories from Another Los Angeles

This story of another Los Angeles - the Los Angeles that was not the paradise it was advertised to be - is told in this feature-length documentary through the compelling voices and stories of ethnically diverse elders who experienced what it was like to grow up with the many challenges and obstacles facing them. But they also tell their stories of resilience, hope and triumph, even as thousands among them suffered discrimination, prejudice and even mass deportation, or as in the case of Japanese-Americans, were taken away by decree and interned in distant camps without just cause. Stories from Another Los Angeles reveals a fascinating, fuller and ultimately richer story behind the rise of this great world city.
