Lost Angeles: The Story of Tent City
- 1987 ----- color ----- 50 min ----- vhs
- In June 1987 a temporary "urban campground" was set up on 12 acres of vacant land in downtown Los Angeles. It was established by the city to serve as a short-term refuge for those with nowhere to go after police cleared them away from the skid row area. Run by the Salvation Army, this "tent city" offered shelter, one meal a day and social services to aid camp residents in searching for jobs and permanent housing. Focuses on the personal stories of some of the camp's 850 residents, in varying stages of hope and distress.
