On my recent trip to California I met up with friends Beaux Mingus and Gina Napolitan who are in the midst of working on a grand endeavor - a film about a quickly disappearing culture of Basque immigrants in southern California. Gina and Beaux plan on taking their project on the road, exploring the greater migration across the United States and the trail of cultural artifacts it left behind.
