Inner Borderlines

Visions of America Through the Eyes of Alejandro Morales

Inner Borderlines is the image that guides this documentary and represents the idea of multiculturalism. So we follow the writer and professor Alejandro Morales, in his journey around Southern California as he tries to understand many issues concerning the Latino population in California and the U.S. society. It deals with ideas such as the first immigrants to California; The Californios and how California was taken over by Anglo-Americans; how the city of Irvine came to be; the heart of Orange County: Santa Ana; what a Barrio is; what "white flight" means; Simons town: a city that built Los Angeles; being a Chicano writer.
