Documenting the Global City 2006: "The Global Mix Los Angeles" by Qui Xiaolu and Ryan Chen
This is a short documentary on Los Angeles produced by one student from USC and one from the Communication University of China. The students were part of the first collaboration in summer 2006 to "Document the Global City." USC Cinema faculty Mark Harris and Marsha Kinder led this first group. This effort yielded a multi-year exchange that continues and is supported by the two schools, Mr. Stephen Lesser, and the USC U.S.-China Institute.
This video is also available on the USCI YouTube Channel.
