Joseph Julian Gonzales, a second generation Chicano and music composer experimening with composition for a string quartet inspired by hawker calls of the vendors of downtown Los Angeles. Most of the street vendors were first generation immigrants-many of them "illegal" from Central America. Marta-Julia Lemus, the street vendor's story runs parallel with Joseph's in the film. The film involves street scenes with visual evidence of police action against the street vendors. The film is a complex mix weaving art, politics, law, and culture into a whole package, and can be used in classroom discussions of immigration, urban America, politics and law.
