Now Screening on Metro Buses: Web Series 'Los Americans'
Metro has its hands full right now, improving L.A.'s transit systems, making transit construction projects more eco-friendly plus conducting community outreach for LAX transport developments. Though the transportation authority's bandwidth must be stretched pretty thin, the agency still managed to upgrade the Metro bus riding experience.
Bus riders can now watch the original web series Los Americans while bouncing along to their destinations, reports Tubefilter. Metro and Transit TV collaborated on the idea and announced the new screenings on Monday.
Created by One Economy (a “global non-profit that uses innovative approaches to deliver the power of technology and information to low-income people”) and distributed by One Economy’s Public Internet Channel (aka www.pic.tv), Los Americans is the eight-episode dramatic story of a “multi-generational, middle-income Mexican-American family” living in in Los Angeles (and verbally happy to not be living in Arizona).
Starring Esai Morales, Lupe Ontiveros, Tony Plana and Raymond Cruz, the show "takes a self-proclaimed 'realistic and complex' look at many of the problems with which today’s American and Latino-American families struggle."
Tubefilter speaks highly of the show.
There’s a reason Transit TV and the METRO bus system are all jazz hands over this series. It’s good.
Bus riders, care to comment?
