The Story
Of all the Gin Joints tells the story of Casablanca, a one of a kind Mexican restaurant themed after the classic film of the same name, and the three generations of men who created and managed it for the past forty years. As COVID-19 puts Casablanca and the Haro family’s very way of life in jeopardy, our film examines the unique relationship between this special restaurant and the Venice, California community it serves.
