Fast Forward is a powerful testimony to the ways in which Hollywood values are reflected in the everyday lives and rituals of the youth of Los Angeles. From the affluent children of the Westside to the graffiti gangs and party crews of East L.A., The Los Angeles young are obsessed by the seductive lifestyle of the entertainment industry, with its emphasis on celebrity, looks, money, and things. L.A.’s children are indoctrinated early into the cult of image. Very good book with seventy-nine full-color photographs accompanied by poignant and unsetting interviews with children and their parents.
