There’s been an uptick of violent crime in South Los Angeles, and if you get shot or stabbed there, it’s likely you’ll go to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance or St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood. Hear from some victims of gang violence and the trauma surgeons who treat them day after day. And a new documentary, “The Biggest Little Farm,” chronicles the life of a couple who left the city for a farm north of LA.
