ABOUT LOST ANGELES WARD
Lost Angeles Ward takes a hard look at life in the sometimes glamorous but always gritty Los Angeles California to reveal the stories overlooked when the silver screen goes blank and Hollywood -the capitol of illusions- clashes with the endless supply of ever pumping lost souls- made of young and old, rich and poor- whose journey into the Ward came at price. Beyond the Hollywood glitz and glamour lies a graveyard of lost souls and fallen angels. www.LOSTANGELESWARD.com
