A short documentary film on Boyle Heights, which chronicles the close to $2 billion in recent public improvement projects that have infused this historic community with a new sense of pride.
Excellent documentary on Boyle Heights. The people, community and culture of Boyle Heights are the strength and beauty of this great neighborhood. Thanks Jose Huizar and the City of Los Angeles for upgrading and renovating the key assets of Boyle Heights. Our children deserve a healthy community without the negative portrayal of gangs and drugs. The focus on education and recreation will provide an everlasting foundation for our youths and adults. Thanks for the vision and foresight.
as a BH resident, it's nice to see the historic elements of this video (locally called bideo). What's problematic are: 1. the affirmation and celebration of non-public schools 2. the historic amnesia that the 70's were a time of greater militancy by communities of color across the country (where the popular narrative portrays it as one of high drug use and gang membership)....that militancy is what opened the door to people like Huizar.
Great overview of the wonderful things happening in Boyle Heights! I was glad to see this and to learn more about what is happening in my own neighborhood!

The music is kind of funny...it's very 1980s.
