Angel Fire - Korean Americans in the LA Riots, Chapter 1: THE OTHER TRIAL

Tinderbox will be investigating the Korean American experience of the 1992 LA Riots in this series, "Angel Fire". In this episode, we delve deep into the People vs. Soon Ja Du, a criminal case that had major implications for race relations in LA in 1991. It acts as an entry point to understanding a troubled city, its history, its people, and why the devastating events of 1992 went down the way they did.
