About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Funding provided by:

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

Tyrus Wong has two new exhibits, including one at the Academy that highlights his work in the movies. The groundbreaking Chinese artist did paintings for Bambi and The Wild Bunch.

This segment was produced by Queena Kim with animation expert Charles Solomon.
