Walls, Walls

A documentary about the murals of Los Angeles: who paints them, who looks at them, who pays for them? The capital of talking pictures has talking walls, through which the people of Los Angeles speak. Naïve, violent, poetic frescos, full of color and humor, reveal the adventure of the city and its inhabitants - black, Mexican, Puerto Rican - images of America caught in the melting-pot at one specific moment in history. Most of these murals will already have been destroyed; only in this film do they still live on.
