N2  - From case cover:
In April 2013, Luis Mancha went to the University of California, Irvine to meet Alejandro Morales, a remarkably under-read Chicano author whose historicism, baroque, and at times grotesque aesthetics are key to understanding his world view.

His conglomeration of styles challenges both readers and literacy critics. Morales's works present a vision of Southern California and America so different from the image that the United States projects abroad that Mancha felt compelled to make this documentary film.

Inner Borderlines follows Alejandro Morales in his journey around Southern California as he tries to understand many issues concerning the Latino population and U.S. society.

The film deals with ideas such as the first immigrants to California; The Californios and how California was taken over by Anglo-Americans; how the city of Irvine cam to be; the heart of Orange County: Santa Ana; what a Barrio is ; what "white flight" means; Simons town: a city that built Los Angeles; and being a Chicano writer
