Rich Hall's California Stars

Rich Hall continues his cultural critique of American people and places. The California dream has always eclipsed its facts or its history. Most other US states are named after geographical place names or Indian tribes or British royalty - New York, Nebraska, Maryland. California was named for Calafia, a mythical Spanish queen, a kind of Spanish Snow White. At the California History Attraction in Anaheim she is portrayed in a 20-minute film narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. In his unique and sardonic way, Rich takes the viewer on a skewed but keenly eyed journey to the place built on a tectonic fault-line that still deigns to call itself the Land of Dreams.
