The Rich Hall BBC Four Specials Collection - Season 1 Episode 6 California Stars
0.00 90 minutes Rich Hall continues his cultural critique of American people and places. California has always been an empty sales pitch. Its first settlements were borne of missionary zeal. It promised a haven from marauders, banditos and mercenaries. Since then it has wiled us with unlimited gold, boundless harvests, silver-screen stardom, dotcom salvation and hi-tech silicon marvels. It has always been a place that promises a good chance of success - if you're youthful or white. And if you're Mexican, it at least promises a decent chance of survival.
