Gang members, police officers, activists and shopkeepers of every race have a voice in TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992.  This American masterpiece uses the verbatim words of people who experienced the Los Angeles riots to expose and explore the human impact of that event.  A single actor gives voice to the diversity and tension of a city in turmoil.  Going directly to the heart of issues of race and class, TWILIGHT probes the language and the lives of its subjects, offering stark insight into the complex social, economic and political issues that fueled the flames in the wake of the Rodney King verdict.

How much have things changed since then? Or not?
