teenagers who are part of a subculture that isn't shown or explored in the
media in any depth. These kids are homeless, and they, along with their
families, stay in a rundown motel known as the El Dorado, which is one of many such
motels in horrific condition in their area of the city. All the residents deal
with issues such as gang violence, drugs and prostitution. Most of the city
authorities do little to rectify the situation. The result is that these
families live in a world where every day is a challenge and the idea of home is
temporary at best. We share a time in the lives of these five teenagers as they
tell us their stories through a series of vignettes. They paint a picture of
their lives and the cruel realities in which they struggle to survive—all the
while doing so in the shadow of Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Yet,
through it all, this group of friends takes the time to share their dreams with
us, reminding us that hope can exist in even the harshest conditions.</span></span></span><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
