"East L.A. Interchange"
narrated by Danny Trejo featuring interviews with such prominent residents as Will.I.Am

Boyle Heights was an amazing neighborhood with an Italian family living next door to a Japanese family living next door to a Jewish family living next door to an African American Family, living next door to a Mexican family, etc, etc, etc..... This neighborhood defied the melting pot and instead showed how we can enjoy our individual cultures while respecting and sharing our neighbor's Culture.

And then the highway came in.
And then WW2 came in
And then the government itself performed actions that actually forced 'white flight.

I was fortunate to be able to go to the World Premiere, but it will now start making the rounds of festivals. It just won Best Documentary at the Downtown Film Festival L.A. After that, general release and then the hope is PBS.

Jewish culture reflects the heart of a vital ethnic history. As that culture continues to shift and adapt alongside mainstream America, delicatessen food, as its name suggests, remains a beloved communal delicacy. In Houston, Texas, third-generation deli man Ziggy Gruber has built arguably the finest delicatessen restaurant in the U.S. His story is augmented by the stories of iconic delis such as Katz's, 2nd Avenue Deli, Nate 'n Al, Carnegie, and the Stage.

This was both fun and educational. Rich history, fascinating people, and Yiddish lessons.

If we werent so desensitized to government intrusion under the guise of national security, this would keep people up at night.

"A startling expose of sexual assault on US campuses, their institutional cover-ups, and the devastating toll they take on students and their families. Weaving together cinema verite footage and first person testimonies, the film follows the lives of several undergraduate assault survivors as they attempt to pursue both their education and justice - despite incredible push back, harassment, and traumatic aftermath"
