"Gentrification: The New Age of Colonialism" is a documentary film analyzing the displacement of residents' culture by a higher socioeconomic hierarchy. We explore Leimert Park, a residential neighborhood in the south region of Los Angeles, California, to examine the issue of gentrification, where the buying and renovating of houses and stores in deteriorated urban neighborhoods by wealthier individuals is taking place, which in effect improves property values but also can displace low-income families and small businesses. We compare this [supposed] gentrification in Leimert Park to modern day colonialism.
