A curious, visually rich documentary portrait of Los Angeles street art and the diverse communities it reflects, balancing aesthetic appreciation with social observation.

Venturing from Venice Beach to Watts, Varda looks at the murals of LA as backdrop to and mirror of the city’s many cultures. She casts a curious eye on graffiti and photorealism, roller disco & gang violence, evangelical Christians, Hare Krishnas, artists, angels and ordinary Angelenos.
