Thanks for that info...I went to the AHC website to see if I could watch the episode, but apparently my "service provider" doesn't carry this spinoff channel and so it wouldn't let me.
Have you ever seen PBS's American Experience episode about the Zoot Suit Riots? If so, I wonder how it compares to this one?
I believe PBS has it available on their website, but someone also posted it on youtube:
