Product Description
The New Los Angeles, a new documentary by Academy Award nominated director Lyn Goldfarb, discards the Hollywood dreamscape and replaces it with an unflinching look at Americas largest majority minority city, where poverty spreads and wealth concentrates as nowhere else in the United States. Through stunning photography and meticulous research, The New Los Angeles travels from the bitterly fought, racially driven elections that brought LAs first African American mayor, Tom Bradley, to power in 1973, to the historic 2005 election of the citys first Latino mayor in more than 130 years, Antonio Villaraigosa. The New Los Angeles is urgent and prescient, provocative and inspiring. It builds on dramatic historical and contemporary footage whose images will surprise even those who think they know the city well. Rarely does a film appear that redefines our understanding of one of the most famous and recognizable cities in the worldbut that is exactly what The New Los Angeles does.Important note about pricing:If you are a professor or student planning on using the video in a classroom setting please have your academic institution or union purchase the video at the institutional price. Simply contact the seller for that information.This will insure that:1) The institution has legally acquired the public performance rights to use the video as a curricular resource;2) All faculty/students/members have access to the video and;3) Independent filmmakers who produce videos such as The New Los Angeles, and who depend on DVD sales to cover production costs, can continue to carry out their work.Thank you for your support!

A must-have for progressives across the country December 6, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I always thought LA was a city defined by traffic, racism, commercialism, and the vanity of Hollywood until I saw THE NEW LOS ANGELES. After seeing the film and becoming more immersed in Los Angeles politics myself, I realized that there is so much more to LA. LA is, believe it or not, a progressive city and THE NEW LOS ANGELES shows this hidden reality with clarity and passion. From the 20 year tenure of the first African American Mayor Tom Bradley to the election of our current Latino Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa; from the birth of the United Farm Workers Movement under Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta to the rise of the labor movement led by Miguel Contreras--this film shows LA unlike you've ever seen it before.
I recommend it for anyone with a progressive vision for the country. The film deals with issues like immigration, living wage, economic justice and racial tension, which are shaping policy and discussion throughout the country. Los Angeles has consistently been a leader on many of these fronts, and how LA has handled key challenges and events in its recent history can surely serve as a model for communities across the country.
