The film adaptation of Anna Deavere Smith's acclaimed play, 'Twilight: Los Angeles', is directed by Marc Levin (writer/director of 'Slam' winner of the 1998 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize and 1998 Cannes Film Festival Camera d'Or). Conceived, written and performed by Anna Deavere Smith, 'Twilight: Los Angeles' presents Smith's one woman/multi-voiced portrait of the violent aftermath in Los Angeles triggered by the acquittal in 1992 of four police officers in the beating of Rodney King. 'Twilight: Los Angeles' brings immediacy to the sorrow, loss, rage and shattered hope that pervaded the city of Los Angeles - a city that in many ways foreshadows the America of the 21st century. Deftly capturing Smith's vivid portrayals, Levin has intercut her performance with news footage from 1992 - the King beating, the two trial verdicts, the riots and the devastating aftermath - and documented Smith's return to Los Angeles in the summer of 1999 to revisit some of the people she interviewed and portrayed. We hear voices from then and now as Smith once again takes a journey into the depths of Los Angeles and shows us that the embers of 1992 are still smouldering. Using the actual words of the people she interviewed for the play, Smith portrays the multiplicity of characters with uncanny accuracy. These verbatim portrayals - by turn comic, wry, poignant and wrenching - bring together adversaries, victims, eyewitnesses, and observers - individuals who have never stood within the same four walls, let alone spoken to each other.
