Illegal LA
While it’s clear where they stand from the selection of statistics they present, VBS produced this otherwise even-handed web doc (an eight part series) about one of the hot button issues of the campaign season: illegal immigration. With conscious editing decisions that steer clear of most “gotcha” sound bites, equal time is given to “Minutemen” founder Jim Gilchrist, former Crip gang leader turned anti-immigration activist Walter Wheeler, and Dov Charney (celebrated by some, demonized by others), CEO of American Apparel. Maybe the most interesting choice of representatives to speak on the issues are the young Los Angeles skaters - children of undocumented immigrants, trying to make the most of their status in-limbo.
