Summary
"Los Angeles Now looks beyond Baywatch and Blade Runner to create a fresh and candid portrait of America's second largest city following the close of its "Anglo century" (1900-2000). A look at a city where more than half of the population is Latino and 40 percent are foreign born, the film uses a groundbreaking high-definition format to explore challenging questions and provocative points of view. How will the city's new Latino and Asian majorities work with other ethnic groups to create a cultural consensus? What is the future of L.A.'s unprecedented multiculturalism-will the city's many neighborhoods balkanize, or coalesce? And despite earthquakes and a seemingly insatiable desire to destroy and rebuild, can the city retain a sense of history?"--PBS web site.
