Over the course of the summer
KCET is hosting a
Cinema Series at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, California. Nine special nights showcasing eight new movies before their theatrical release along with one classic
Johnny Mercer scored film. Each screening will also include a Q&A immediately following the film with actors and filmmakers hosted by film critic
Pete Hammond. The fourth film of the series screened was a documentary called "
Page One: Inside the New York Times" directed by
Andrew Rossi. The documentary takes a stirring look at the changing face of newspapers with media, online blogging and aggregate journalism chipping away at the age old institutions of reporting. Following the film was a rising Q&A with two
Participant Media spokespersons. Take a look at the highlights below...
As a single parent, Carlos wants the opportunities for his son he never had. He wants to keep him off the gang infested streets and wants him to attend a school where education is more important than policing children. As an illegal immigrant, providing these opportunities is a very trying and tiring experience and when Carlos's work truck is stolen he must risk everything in order to find it without involving the police.
