Funded thanks to a grant from the Las Vegas Centennial Commission, the film tells the stories of the Historic Westside through the use of historic images, consultation from local historians, and interviews with past and present residents as well as local politicians. Topics include the 1905 McWilliams Townsite, attendance at the Historic Westside School, segregation in Las Vegas, the opening and closing of the Moulin Rouge, and neighborhood dynamics leading up to the 1969 riots. National issues that impacted the local community such as WWII and the Vietnam War, as well as the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X are also highlighted.
