Film: 'Homegrown'
Three "mini-documentaries" about life in the city of East Palo Alto, all with a hip-hop flavor, will have a free screening at 6:30 p.m. tonight, March 18, at East Palo Alto City Hall, 2415 University Ave. The films were made by young lyricists and students in Stanford's urban-studies program as part of a 10-week collaboration.
