Freeway City, the Story of<br />
Gardena, California<br />
NEW!<br />
FREEWAY CITY is a documentary that chronicles the curious and<br />
little known history of Gardena. It began as a farming community<br />
with a large Japanese-American population that was relocated<br />
during World War II. Later it became the Poker Capital of the<br />
World. The demographics changed again after the Watts riots.<br />
Gardena was also Honda’s first US headquarters and Evel Knievel<br />
made his first televised jump at Gardena’s Ascot Park Speedway.<br />
These are just a few of the events in Gardena’s history. FREEWAY<br />
CITY explores how the “collision of race, politics and casino<br />
economics shaped the destiny of Gardena, California.”<br />
FREEWAY CITY is an independent film, shot, edited and directed<br />
by Max Votolato, originally from London, England and currently<br />
residing in Los Angeles. Mr. Votolato will join us for a question<br />
and answer period after the screening.<br />
