Los Angeles was once considered the "most dangerous city west of the Santa Fe" and was the original "Wild West". The American desire to migrate west for profit and prosperity brought people seeking freedom and a better life, including those who wanted to be themselves.

This documentary, LAQH, explores the history and evolution of the community, shedding light on unacknowledged figures and creating a dialogue about their impact on the world.
