Scene of an outdoor press conference in a courtyard near Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles. Reporters carrying cameras stand in the foreground with their backs turned to the camera. At the podium is an older Asian man with long white hair tied back. There is a crowd of people behind him, some holding picket signs reading "New Otani - Non-Union - please Boycott!" On the right hand sign of the frame is a larger free-standing poster titled "Wall of Shame" with graphic images of starved detainees.
