This 2021 documentary lays bare the housing inequality crisis in America through the lens of Venice Beach, a former artists' community in Los Angeles, now subject to issues surrounding affordable housing and a growing wealth gap.

Los Angeles is one of the wealthiest cities in the world, with the iconic Venice Beach neighborhood famed for its community of artists, musicians, and beatniks.

But the forces of gentrification and a widening wealth gap are threatening the qualities that first brought a generation of misfits and dreamers to this low-income neighborhood.

Soaring rents and property prices have forced many of Venice's more vulnerable residents into poverty, poor mental health, and homelessness.

Unzipped: An Autopsy of American Inequality is a 2021 documentary by Canadian director Colin K. Gray.

The film features several unhoused residents of Venice, as well as interviews with local figures attempting to address the growing crisis on LA's streets and the residents who oppose them.
