Exiles @ Cinéma du Parc
It’s an old film, but it’s by no means a classic. Exiles has hardly seen the light of day since its first release in 1961. Kent MacKenzie spent three years on this film in the fifties, exploring the Bunker Hill district of L.A. and the diverse mix of impoverished people packed in there.
