b"LEAVING CALIFORNIA: THE UNTOLD STORY is a 70-minute documentary that explores the unprecedented mass exodus of California and its root cause. Siyamak Khorrami, television host of California Insider and editor of The Epoch Times Southern California, takes viewers on an intimate journey of love, loss, tragedy and hope as residents faced the prospect of leaving their beloved state. Khorrami provides a unique and personal lens as he explores such issues as crime, education, business environment, cost of living, environmental legislation and homelessness. Having left his home in Iran with his family when he was 16 years old to live in Mexico City for two years, Khorrami was drawn to the beauty, safety, opportunity, and freedom of the Golden State. After living and running businesses in China and the United States, he's keenly aware of the impact governance has on people. As Khorrami talks with multiple citizens and several notable Californians including former Majority Leader, California Senate, Gloria Romero (D), former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, former San Francisco County Supervisor Tony Hall, Director of Race and Equity, The Utility Reform Network (TURN) Gabriela Sandoval, Pulitzer Prize winning-journalist Rick Reiff, and more, he pulls back the curtain, revealing the untold stories behind the mass exodus."
