I Don't Know Anyone In LA

My name is Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA.

With more than 4 million people bumping up against each other, how is is possible to feel so alone and isolated?

Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect, talk about our lives and what got us to where we are today.

It's also a show about connection in a larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. As the week's progress, it'll filter up a chain on people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know.
