Daniel and the Towers

Daniel and the Towers

Daniel and The Towers is a Made-for-TV movie featuring the famous folk art masterpiece, the Watts Towers (located in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles), and their creator Simon Rodia's friendship with a 10-year-old neighborhood boy.

The story itself, and the friendship it describes, are fiction; however, Simon Rodia did build the towers. Some of the neighborhood situations that the movie portrays are factually based.
