Chinatown

from Imaginary City · host Imaginary City

LA! Murder! Conspiracy! Incest! And you thought civic infrastructure was boring. On this episode we discuss the classic 1974 neo-noir classic Chinatown, directed by Roman Polanski, and starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. We separate fact from fiction in the California Water Wars as we explore this fascinating tale of power and corruption and how cities get built. Along the way we ask the question: who is the American Dream really for?
