The conversation starts in Los Angeles as we capture the vast chasm of life that’s unfolding in one of America’s greatest cities. A mere 9.5 miles from each other lies the city’s wealthiest area and its most destitute section–Skid Row. In an effort to not pass judgment, but to inspire change and provoke thought, Frank LA takes to the streets to shine a light on the present in order to affect the future.

When you purchase a one-year Frank LA subscription, Issue 001 will be the first of three issues you receive. You will automatically receive Issues 002 & 003, in Spring 2015 and Fall 2015, respectively. Issues may also be purchased individually.
