At a time when immigration issues and policy are being hotly debated throughout the nation, Crossing the BLVD: strangers, neighbors, aliens in a new America shares the stories, sounds, and images that reveal the human toll of a cold- and post-cold war-world, and pre- and post-9/11 world. Nineteen audio sound and music pieces composed by Judith Sloan, Warren Lehrer and Scott Johnson form a rich and original musical soundscape that reflects the immigrant experience at the crossroads of a paradoxical and ever-changing America.
