I produced and edited this multimedia feature for California Watch and KQED. It also appeared on KQED’s The California Report with a series of radio stories. The reporting for the multimedia feature was done by Erin Marie Daly, Michael Montgomery and Sarah Varney (see the print article here). The photography is by Daniel A. Anderson.
