A documentary narrated by Cheech Marin and scored by Ry Cooder explores how a community was devastated by greed, political deceit, and well-meaning plans gone awry. Haunting photographs by Don Normark bring to life a once-thriving Mexican-American village in downtown LA, which was destroyed in the 1950s to make way for a massive low-income housing project. However, the land was instead used to build Dodger Stadium.
