"East L.A. Interchange"

                   Join us Wednesday March 20th, from 6-7:30pm for a screening of  "East L.A. Interchange", a documentary put together by Producer/Director, Betsy Kalin, and her team. This is a FREE screening and open to all ages. 

 "The premise of our documentary is that the diversity of today is not essentially different from the diversity of the past. Using Boyle Heights, the oldest neighborhood in East Los Angeles as an example, we explore its history, challenges, and triumphs throughout its 40 years as a multiethnic community."  

 

Check out a short trailer of East L.A. Interchange here.
