A new web series is shining a light on how gentrification impacts Latinxs living in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles.
“Gente-fied” is a dramatic comedy web series that follows seven characters as they fight to stay rooted in their quickly gentrifying neighborhood.
The series describes itself as “an explosion of fusion tacos, LGBTQ raza, micheladas, defiant murals, generational clashes and more,” and features little to no mention of guns, cartels or drugs. Okay, so there’s a little marijuana, but it’s mostly a story about Latinx people struggling to hold onto their roots in a rapidly changing community.
