FREEWAY CITY - FULL GARDENA DOCUMENTARY

🎥 "Freeway City" is a provocative case study on how the collision of race, politics and casino economics shaped the destiny of Gardena, California. The film explores the narrative of a Los Angeles suburb that had its roots in agriculture, but grew into a nightlife heyday as the self-proclaimed "Poker Capital of the World". "Freeway City" charts the massive social and economic shifts the city has been through in the years since it was incorporated.

A virtual treasure trove of archival footage, photographs and newspaper clippings was unearthed to illustrate Gardena's transformation from its beginnings as a backwater farming community to a post-war suburban boom town featuring an original soundtrack and interviews with the people who lived it.
