Synopsis

From 1988 to 2013, teens in Los Angeles had a unique opportunity to publish their own stores in L.A. Youth, a newspaper by and about teens, distributed throughout Southern California. Taking on such issues as involuntary hospitalization of "troublesome" teens, police abuse, and homelessness; sharing experiences with racial discrimination, life on the streets, and incarceration; and reporting on news of the day, the teens learned first hand the power of the press and the responsibilities that come with free speech.It wasn't easy -- money was always short, workspace always cramped -- but for 25 years, L.A. Youth gave teens a rare public voice.
