I saw a documentary movie last week.
About people who live in miserable conditions at Salton sea, recreation facility gone wrong - ghost city today.
A bad side of the American dream.
And though the movie was really great and I absolutely enjoyed it, what struck me most was a scene from city Fresno. Because I've been there.
And I have to say, through the camera over the shoulder of a deeply damaged man,the city is so different. What I have seen was a regular city in California. McDonald's, 7-Eleven, big-ass mall. A comfortable life, god bless the US.
What he sees is the true face, behind the facade of palm trees and sunshine. An overgrown junkyard of good mens' dreams.
