Samenvatting:

An apocalypse of race, class, and culture, fanned by the media and the harsh L.A. sun.



An apocalypse of race, class, and culture fanned by the media and the harsh L.A. sun.

Irreverently juggling magical realism, film noir, hip-hop, and chicanismo, Tropic of Orange takes place in a Los Angeles where the homeless, gangsters, infant organ entrepreneurs, and Hollywood collide on a stretch of the Harbor Freeway. Hemmed in by wildfires, it’s a symphony conducted from an overpass: grandiose, comic, and as diverse as the city itself.
