In this series, we hear from the people who make Los Angeles run--the night shift workers, the minimum wage employees, and the undocumented laborers.

In the eleventh part of our series, we take a trip to the busy Port of Long Beach. Many of the products we buy every day are manufactured overseas and enter the USA on ships. At the port, longshoremen work day and night to move shipping containers...one by one.
