Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story

Jordan Mechner's award-winning 2003 half-hour documentary tells the bittersweet story of an American community betrayed by greed, political hypocrisy, and good intentions gone astray. Don Normark's haunting black-and-white photographs reclaim and celebrate Chavez Ravine, a closely-knit Mexican-American village that once overlooked downtown Los Angeles from the hill where Dodger Stadium now stands. Narrated by Cheech Marin. Music by Ry Cooder and Lalo Guerrero. "Powerful and moving... a gripping revival of the forgotten history behind the land which today holds L.A. Dodger Stadium." --The Daily Sundial, California State University Short-listed for Academy Award nomination - Best Documentary Short Best Short Documentary - International Documentary Association Award Grand Jury Award, Best Documentary Short - Florida Film Festival "Chavez Ravine is a unique and fascinating contribution to the unknown history of Latino people in California. It relates beautifully to every dislocated community; it connects in a surprising and important way to the McCarthy era; it is composed of oral history and historic photographs, woven seamlessly with a beautiful score and narrative. I cannot recommend it highly enough to all teachers because it shows the relevance and power of history for all." --Lauren Coodley, History Dept., Napa College http://jordanmechner.com/chavez-ravine
