New Documentary: "Finding God in the City of Angels"

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.

New Documentary: "Finding God in the City of Angels"
Short version: Southern California is not only one of the most ethically and racially diverse parts of the world, but religiously as well. A new documentary, “Finding God in the City of Angels,” gets a private screening this weekend, but will be shown in several L.A. communities in the coming weeks. It focuses on what “scripture” means for all belief systems. KPCC’s Peter Stenshoel spoke with director, cinematographer and producer, Jennifer Jessum, and her husband, Simon Joseph, the film’s writer.

Southern California is not only one of the most ethnically and racially diverse parts of the world, but religiously as well. A new documentary, “Finding God in the City of Angels,” gets a private screening this weekend, but will be shown in several L.A. communities in the coming weeks.

It focuses on what “scripture” means for all belief systems. KPCC’s Peter Stenshoel spoke with director, cinematographer and producer, Jennifer Jessum, and her husband, Simon Joseph, the film’s writer and co-producer. But first, they listened to the trailer. (The doc was commissioned by Claremont Graduate University’s Institute for Signifying Scriptures.) We've posted a short and long version of Peter's interview.
