CGiii Comment
If the narration wasn't so droneful...then, this would have been a thoroughly enlightening film.
It's easy to envisage a series of films...giving more detail to each historical location.
It really is a fascinating account...but, some filmmakers really ought to use the talents of voice-over artists...even if the story gets personal!
But...it really does spur you on...to do your own research! Not a bad thing!

This cinematic essay, a defense of remembering, offers up a primer on the Spanish colonization of California and the Mexican American War alongside intimate reflections on nostalgia, butch identity and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo - all against a contemplative backdrop of 16mm urban California landscapes.
