"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.
