Watts

With Students from Lock High School Watts can be considered the epicenter of Los Angeles' working class history - a microcosm of America's dramatic demographic shifts. It is a neighborhood that has endured the most daring tests of our local history, an area that has been demonized by some and cherished profoundly by others. Produced by students from Locke High School, this series of Departures gives an honest portrait of the people and places who claim Watts as their own. Walk down Central Avenue and find out for yourself.
