Laura Gabbert: Jonathan Gold's 1992 piece on the LA Riots

“From the stoop of my building, it seemed like a giant block party,” Gold wrote in 1992, just a week after the Los Angeles Riots. “City of Gold” filmmaker Laura Gabbert shares what this piece meant to her.

“City of Gold” documentarian Laura Gabbert discusses her favorite piece of Jonathan Gold’s writing: his meditation on the Los Angeles riots in 1992, titled “A Neighborhood Just West of Downtown.”
