Welcome to California Soul (Trailer)

Check out the first episode now: http://bit.ly/1woeNBn California occupies a special place in the American imagination; manifest destiny by way of endless sunshine, shiny Hollywood fantasy, and unfettered access to kale smoothies. The reality is a darker, stranger, and (we think) far more interesting picture. In no other place in the world will you find a more eclectic and robust collection of sub cultures, pseudo-­legal operations, spiritual practices, and unapologetic weirdness than here. In our new series California Soul, VICE makes its home among the true faces of the Golden State as we profile the heroes, vagabonds, innovators, and ne'er­do­wells who give life to this land. We go in depth and all out to render a true vision of California's lesser known characters and the place they call home....This is California Soul.
