About THE DIRTY DIVIDE
Shot on location in Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles. An unflinching exploration of the tragic results of structural racism, de-industrialization, the failed war on drugs, and poverty, in the what has been called the “meanest city in America”. While homelessness has exploded in Los Angeles—Skid Row is the largest concentration of homeless in the hemisphere—brilliance and resilience are in full display in this new documentary.
