Neighborhoods: The
Hidden Cities of San Francisco is an ongoing
television series designed to explore the rich history
of this unique American city. From the earliest
Native American villages of the Mission District
to the ethnic enclaves of Chinatown and North Beach,
each program will reveal the city as a mosaic of
communities with interconnecting pasts.
The series reveals the social, economic and cultural
movements that have created the city and the world
we have inherited. Viewers drawn to the fascinating
stories will discover meaningful connections between
our daily lives and the deeper histories we share.
As we continue to grow in our appreciation of diverse
cultures, Neighborhoods will give viewers
a crucial sense of the traditions that link us,
not only to the past, but to one another.
