As part of YesterdayLA, the Philosophical Research Society’s monthlong exploration of Los Angeles history, 7th House and Hollywood Entertainment are excited to present an extra special screening of the 2020 documentary WHIRLYBIRD. Director Matt Yoka will be joining us in person to discuss the film with Tom Carroll of "Tom Explores LA"!

"A Sprawling LA Story"

Flying high above Los Angeles in a whirling news helicopter, husband-and-wife team Marika Gerrard and Zoey Tur covered some of the city’s most dramatic events and changed breaking news forever. An entirely unique view of Los Angeles presented through stunning aerial footage and remarkable home videos, WHIRLYBIRD reframes many of the city’s pivotal moments, including the L.A. riots and the O.J. Simpson pursuit.
