CONCERNS ARE ALSO RISING CLOSER TO HOME.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THE COMMANDER AT LARGE WILL RETURN TO EL CENTRO, AND THAT HAS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ON EDGE.

ANDREW IS LIVE WHERE A PROTEST IS HAPPENING.

ANDREW.

>> Reporter: WE'RE IN IMPERIAL COUNTY AT EL CENTRO BORDER PATROL WHERE A HANDFUL OF RESIDENTS ARE PROTESTING.

HE LED RAIDS IN CHICAGO, NEW ORLEANS, MINNEAPOLIS AND WAS CHIEF HERE BEFORE THAT.

WE TALKED TO MAYOR LLEWELYN ABOUT HIS CONCERNS ABOUT THE RETURN.

>> MY CONCERN IS WITH THE CHIEF, SELF-PROCLAIMED COMMANDER OF THE BORDER PATROL RETURNING HOME, WILL THE OFFICERS FEEL EMBOLDENED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

EL CENTRO IS THE PREMIER SECTOR FOR BORDER PATROL.

WHY ARE WE TREATED AS A WASTELAND, A PLACE TO SEND THEIR POLITICAL SCRAPS AND FAILED PROJECTS SO WE CAN DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF EMBOLDENED AND TYRANNICAL FEDERAL AGENTS.

>> Reporter: WE DON'T HAVE CONFIRMATION, BUT RESIDENTS SAY HE LIVES IN IMPERIAL AND LOT OF THEM TOLD US THEY HOPE HE RETIRES AND MOVES AWAY.

HE'S NEAR RETIREMENT AGE, 55, AND BORDER PATROL HAS MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE OF 57.

REPORTING LIVE, ANDREW DYER, KPBS.

>>> MEANWHILE A NATIONWIDE PROTEST IS SLATED FOR TOMORROW, ORGANIZERS DUBBING IT A NATIONAL SHUTDOWN, CALLING FOR PEOPLE TO NOT WORK, SHOW UP FOR SCHOOL OR SHOP ON JANUARY 30th.

LEE WALDMAN BREAKS IT DOWN FOR US.

>> NOW!

>> I'M SO PROUD OF THE WAY OUR COMMUNITY HAS RESPONDED, AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED MORE FROM PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER TO PROTECT US.

>> Reporter: A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE COMING TOGETHER TO DEMAND AN END TO IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT HAPPENING ACROSS THE U.S.

BEN LEWIS AND AMY HARBURN ARE PART OF A UNION REPRESENTING GRADUATE WORKERS, AND THEY'RE HELPING ARRANGE A NATIONAL SHUTDOWN FRIDAY.

NO WORK, NO SCHOOL, NO SHOPPING.

>> FOR A LOT OF ORGANIZERS, WE UNDERSTAND IT'S MONEY THAT MAKES A BIG STATEMENT.

>> ON THE WEBSITE PROMOTING THE SHUTDOWN, ORGANIZERS WRITE QUOTE -- THE PEOPLE OF THE TWIN CITIES HAVE SHOWN THE WAY FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

TO STOP I.C.E.

'S REIGN OF TERROR.

WE NEED TO SHUT IT DOWN.

HE SAYS WE'RE AT A CRUCIAL MOMENT FOR OUR NATION'S HISTORY.

>> THIS IMPACTS BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.

PROTEST IS DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.

PROTEST IS CRUCIAL.

>> Reporter: WHEN LOOKING AT JANUARY 30th NATIONWIDE PROTESTS, SPURRED IN PART BY THE SHOOTING DEATHS OF RENEE GOOD AND ALEX PRETTI, HE SAYS IT'S IMPORTANT THINGS REMAIN PEACEFUL ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> THIS SEEMS LIKE A MOMENT IN HISTORY THAT THE TIDE OF THE PUBLIC CAN'T BE DENIED.

THIS TURNS ON IT STAYING PEACEFUL.

THAT'S CRUCIAL.

>> Reporter: IN NEW YORK, LEE WALDMAN.

>>> IT'S GOING TO BE UNUSUALLY WARM THIS TIME OF YEAR.

48 DEGREES IN SAN DIEGO, COOLER INLAND, BALMY.

DRY FOR THE SOUTHWEST, ONLY WESTERN PRECIPITATION IS OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

EXTRAORDINARILY COLD AIR ACROSS THE PLAINS HOLDS AS WE GET READY FOR A MIDATLANTIC WINTER STORM.

LOCAL FORECAST IS COMING UP.

>>> EARLY THIS MORNING, SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENTS BEGAN THE DIFFICULT TASK OF LOCATING AND COUNTING THE HOMELESS POPULATION.

OUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND REPORTER SHOWED A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS TO SEE HOW IT'S DONE, WHY IT MATTERS.

>> 3:45 IN SAN DIEGO CITY HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.

AFTER A BRIEF MEETING AT THE YMCA, DOZENS OF VOLUNTEERS SET OUT.

IN CARS AND ON FOOT, THEY HEAD INTO THE DARKNESS.

>> LITTLE LEAGUE AND THIS IS WHERE THEY HANG OUT, TOO.

>> Reporter: THEY'RE DOING THIS IN UNISON WITH 1,700 VOLUNTEERS AT DOZENS OF SITES FOR THE POINT IN TIME COUNT.

>> WE HOPE TO DO AS MANY INTERVIEWS AS POSSIBLE.

DEMOGRAPHICS, AGE, VETERAN, SUBPOPULATIONS THEY BELONG TO AND LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEIR STORY.

>> Reporter: IT'S A ONE-DAY SNAPSHOT OF THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

JULIA LIVES IN HER CAR, SAYS SHE SHE BECAME HOMELESS AFTER LOSING A JOB AND GETTING EVICTED.

>> HAD A COUPLE OF JOBS, THEY DON'T LAST, WHEN YOU'RE HOMELESS, SOMETHING IS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S HARD TO KEEP A JOB.

>> Reporter: SHE WANTS TO WORK AND IS FRUSTRATED.

>> YOU CAN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO GET JOBS AND TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES IF THEY DON'T HAVE A HOME.

THERE'S NO STABILITY.

>> Reporter: LAST YEAR'S POINT IN TIME COUNT SHOWED A DECREASE IN THE REGION.

9900 PEOPLE IN SHELTERS, CARS AND LIVING OUTSIDE.

IT'S LED BY THE REGIONAL TASK FORCE ON HOMELESSNESS.

KOHLER IS THE CEO.

SHE SAYS DESPITE THE PROGRESS, OLDER ADULTS LIKE OVERTON ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERNS.

>> IT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF UNSHELTERED, 55 OR OLDER LIKE WE HAVEN'T SEEN.

THAT'S WHY WE DO THE POINT IN TIME COUNT, TREND DATA IS IMPORTANT.

SEEING MORE PEOPLE IN VEHICLES AND MORE FAMILIES.

>> Reporter: THE PROJECT ISN'T PERFECT, DOESN'T COUNT THOSE COUCH SURFING, IN JAIL OR IN A MOTEL.

BUT IT'S NEEDED FOR STATE FUNDING.

WHICH ARE NOT AS RELIABLE AS IN PAST YEARS.

>> IT FUNDS HOUSING, SHELTERS AND WRAPAROUND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.

IT'S REQUIRED AND CRITICAL WE DO IT WELL AND COMPREHENSIVELY.

>> Reporter: THE FINAL RESULTS WILL BE PUBLISHED MIDYEAR.

AS FOR NOW, FOR EVERY PERSON WHO BECOMES HOMELESS, ANOTHER IS HOUSED.

>>> ANNUAL REPORT OUT TODAY, ON THE EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE USE OF TOBACCO.

MANDY GAITHER COMPLAINS WHY IT MAY BE AT RISK.

>> Reporter: IN ITS NEWLY RELEASED ANNUAL REPORT CARD, THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION SAYS SMOKING RATES FOR ADULTS DROPPED FROM JUST OVER 23% IN 2000 TO BELOW 11% IN 2023.

AND YOUTH TOBACCO YOUTH IS AT ITS LOWEST LEVEL IN 25 YEARS, MORE THAN 2 MILLION MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS USE TOBACCO, INCLUDING ECIGARETTES.

>> NOT A REPORT CARD YOU WANT TO BRING HOME TO YOUR PARENTS.

>> Reporter: DESPITE MAJOR STRIDES, TOBACCO IS THE MAJOR SORT OF PREVENTIBLE DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THE REPORT WARNS THAT PROGRESS COULD QUICKLY UNRAVEL DUE TO CHANGES IN PREVENTION AND CESSATION EFFORTS.

>> I WANT US TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO DOWN THE RATES.

>> Reporter: REGULATION OF TOBACCO PROJECTS AND COVERAGE OF TREATMENTS TO HELP PEOPLE KEEP SMOKING, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RECEIVES A DEE IT WAS F FOR TAXES AND I FOR INCOMPLETE WITH MEDIA CAMPAIGNS.

D FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL AND STATE GRADES WERE ALSO A CONCERN.

>> TWO BEST STATES.

CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, DELAWARE, D.C., MAINE AND MASSACHUSETTS ARE BEST.

AND WORST IN ALL FIVE CATEGORIES, GEORGIA, MISSISSIPPI, TEXAS AND ALABAMA.

>>> BORDER CZAR TOM HOLMAN HELD HIS FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER TAKING OVER IN MINNESOTA.

WE WANT TO WARN YOU, SOME OF THE VISUALS YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE ARE GRAPHIC.

>> Reporter: LESS THAN A WEEK SINCE THE KILLING OF ALEX PRETTI BY FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AGENTS.

>> I CAME HERE TO SEEK SOLUTIONS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.

>> Reporter: WHITE HOUSE BORDER CZAR INSTALLED, ANNOUNCING A DRAWDOWN OF I.C.E.

OPERATIONS IN THE STATE.

>> IT'S GOING TO IMPROVE BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES WE'RE MAKING INTERNALLY.

NO AGENCY IS PERFECT.

>> Reporter: HOLMAN SAYING OFFICERS WILL FOCUS LESS ON STREET OPERATIONS AND WORKING MORE IN JAILS AND PRISONS.

THE CHANGE IN DIRECTION COMES AMID HEAVY CRITICISM FOR THEIR SEVERE AND SWEEPING TACTICS, AND FRUSTRATION FROM DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON WHO ARE SEEKING I.C.E.

REFORM CONCESSIONS FROM REPUBLICANS BEFORE A CRITICAL FUNDING VOTE.

>> I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR ANOTHER DIME UNTIL THERE ARE REAL CHANGES.

GET RID OF THE MASKS, MANDATE BODY CAMERAS, NO WARRANTLESS SEARCHES.

>> Reporter: AS NEW VIDEO SURFACES FROM 11 DAYS BEFORE ALEX PRETTI WAS KILLED.

SHOWING A PHYSICAL CLASH BETWEEN PRETTI AND FEDERAL AGENTS.

MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR JACOB FREY ADDRESSING THE INCIDENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

>> ARE WE ACTUALLY MAKING THE ARGUMENT THAT ALEX PRETTI SHOULD BE KILLED FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 11 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SHOOTING ITSELF?

NO, I THINK WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ACTUALLY LED TO THE KILLING AND WHAT TOOK PLACE.

>> Reporter: IN WASHINGTON, BRIAN ABEL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> A KPBS INVESTIGATION THIS MONTH SHED LIGHT ON HOW A DATABASE MIGHT HELP FEDERAL AGENCIES AVOID STATE SANCTUARY LAWS.

REPORTER SOLIS SAYS THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE VOICING CONCERNS.

>> Reporter: THE KPBS FOUNDATION FOUND THAT IT GIVES SOME FEDERAL AGENCIES ACCESS TO A DATABASE WITH LITTLE OVERSIGHT TO ENSURE CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION FOLLOW THE RULES WHEN USING IT FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ASKED FOR A STAFF PRESENTATION.

ARJIS DIRECTOR RAY DESCRIBED IT.

>> THE MISSION IS GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

>> Reporter: EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY FEEDS DATA IN.

TRAFFIC CITATIONS, ARREST RECORDS, FIELD INTERVIEWS, A LOCAL JAIL CENSUS AND SOME DRIVER'S LICENSE RECORDS.

RAY TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE WAYS IT'S USED.

>> IF A DEPUTY IN VISTA IS LOOKING FOR TONY RAY AS A SUSPECT, WITNESS, VICTIM, CONTACT INFORMATION, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, THEY PUT IT IN THE SYSTEM, AND IF A POLICE OFFICER IN EL CAJON CONTACTED TONY RAY THEY WOULD GET AN IMMEDIATE ALERT.

>> Reporter: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND ALL THE 18 CITIES.

BOARD MEMBERS AGREED THAT SHARING INFORMATION WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES IS GENERALLY SPEAKING A GOOD IDEA.

BUT MANY QUESTION WHETHER FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENCIES CAN BE TRUSTED.

COUNCIL MEMBER SHIN REFERENCED VETERANS.

>> THE RELATIONSHIP NEEDS TO EXIST, ONLY PROBLEM IS ONE LAYER OF THIS CAKE IS SO PRONOUNCED, IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE -- THIS IS MY MILITARY SIDE OF IT ALL, LOOKS LIKE TACTICS ARE BEING TAKEN WITHOUT STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE.

>> Reporter: OTHERS REFERENCED THE KILLING BY FEDERAL AGENTS IN MINNEAPOLIS AND DETENTION OF A 5-YEAR-OLD BOY IN THAT CITY.

THE MAIN CONCERN IS WITHOUT INDEPENDENT OVERSIDE, SANDAG HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THEY USE ARJIS TO AVOID THE SANCTUARY LAW.

HOOEBNER.

>> ARE ALL AGENCIES COMPLYING?

TO ME, THE ANSWER IS WE DON'T KNOW.

>> Reporter: LOCAL PRIVACY ADVOCATES HAVE LONG CRITICIZED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BORDER PATROL AND ARJIS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN.

>> WE HAVE TO HAVE SAFEGUARDS AND PRINCIPLES IN PLACE.

THAT'S WHAT THE FUTURE OF ARJIS SHOULD BE ABOUT.

>> MORE DATA NOT MORE SAFETY.

>> WE'VE WITNESSED THE AGENCIES SHOW A BLATANT UNTO THE CONSTITUTION, FIGHTING AND KILLING PEOPLE ON THE STREETS.

>> Reporter: RAY CONFIRMED THE REPORTING THAT ARJIS CAN'T INDEPENDENTLY RUN AUDITS AND THE AGENCIES ARE POLICING THEMSELVES.

MAYOR SNOW DUG IN FURTHER AND ASKED IF SANDAG COULD LOOK TO SEE HOW OFTEN THE AGENCY USES ARJIS?

>> HAVE WE CONDUCTED AN AUDIT TO SEE IF THERE ARE SPIKES OF USAGE FROM PARTICULAR DEPARTMENTS.

ARE WE DOING THAT ANALYSIS?

>> ARJIS?

NO.

>> Reporter: AGUIRRE REQUESTED IT GOING FOR.

>> WE'RE SEEING NO DUE PROCESS AND VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION FROM THIS AGENCY.

IT MERITS FURTHER DISCUSSION.

>> Reporter: AND COUNCIL MEMBER VERANO WAS MORE BLUNT, CALLING ON THEM TO CEASE THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

>> I'VE SEEN ENOUGH FROM THE FEDERAL AGENCIES TO KNOW I DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT I.C.E.

IS DOING.

>> Reporter: OTHER MEMBERS CAUTIONED REMOVING IT BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE NEGATIVE PUBLIC SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.

THEY DECIDED TO ASK THEIR LEGAL TEAM TO WRITE A REPORT ON THE USE, OVERSIGHT AND THEIR OPTIONS IN THE FUTURE.

KPBS.

>> IF YOU HAVE A TIP FOR THE INVESTIGATIONS TEAM, EMAIL INVESTIGATIONS@KPBS.ORG OR MESSAGE ON THE 619-594-8177 NUMBER.

>>> EL CAJON RESIDENTS FLOODED A MEETING FOLLOWING THE KILLING OF U.S.

CITIZENS BY FEDERAL AGENTS IN MINNEAPOLIS.

MANY SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE CITY'S CONTINUED SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION POLICIES.

>> Reporter: AN EL CAJON MEETING WAS AGAIN THE SETTING FOR PUBLIC CLASHES OVER IMMIGRATION.

THIS CAME AFTER THE KILLINGS OF U.S.

CITIZENS AT THE HANDS OF FEDERAL AGENTS THIS MONTH.

3-2 VOTE, THEY APPROVED THE RESOLUTION THAT EL CAJON IS NOT A SANCTUARY CITY, DESPITE SAN DIEGO A SANCTUARY COUNTY AND CALIFORNIA A SANCTUARY STATE.

SHE SPOKE IN THE PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> FROM EAST COUNTY, BORN AND RAISED, OWN A HOME IN EL CAJON, THESE ARE NOT OUR VALUES, TRYING TO GET ATTENTION FROM THE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION, OUT HERE IN OFFICE NOT TO SERVE PEOPLE BUT THEIR OWN GOALS.

>> Reporter: MANY JOINED HER IN CONDEMNING THE RESOLUTION AND IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, INCLUDING COUNCIL MEMBER KENDRICK, HE SPOKE OF SB-54, THE SANCTUARY LAW.

>> SB-54 WAS PASSED IN THE FIRST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT THAT TIME SUED THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND YOU KNOW WHAT, IN FEDERAL COURT, THE STATE WON.

IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.

>> Reporter: MOST OF THE SPEAKERS AT THE MEETING WERE AGAINST THE CITY'S RESOLUTION, A HANDFUL VOICED SUPPORT.

IN AN INTERVIEW WITH KPBS AFTER THE MEETING, MAYOR BILL WELLS SAYS HE THINKS CRITICS ARE MISCHARACTERIZING THE RESOLUTION.

>> WE'RE NOT ASKING OUR POLICE OFFICERS TO BREAK THE LAW.

WE VOICED OUR OPINION THAT THE FEDERAL LAW SUPERSEDES THE STATE LAW.

THAT'S IT.

>> Reporter: THE COUNCIL HAS NOT MADE PLANS TO ADDRESS THIS AT FUTURE MEETINGS.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> SOMETIMES YOU FIND HISTORY IN THE MOST UNEXPECTED PLACES.

IN THIS STATE PARK, HIKERS KNOW OF ONE PLACE, THE SITE OF WHAT MAY BE THE MOST UNUSUAL MONUMENT ANYWHERE IN OUR COUNTY.

AS KEN KRAMER SHOWS US, IT'S A MEMORIAL TO WHAT HAPPENED THERE MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO.

>> Reporter: MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN THESE PICTURES OR KNOW WHAT HAPPENED UP HERE.

>> DECEMBER 7, 1922.

>> Reporter: A BIPLANE ON THE WAY FROM CORONADO TO YUMA, ON BOARD A COLONEL AND THE PILOT.

>> NO RADIO OR NAVIGATION SYSTEM, ALTIM TER BUT COULDN'T TELL HOW CLOSE IT WAS.

>> Reporter: SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE PLANE.

>> THE PILOT AND HIS PASSENGER DISAPPEARED.

>> Reporter: MONTHS LATER WHEN THE SNOW IS GONE, THERE'S A DISCOVERY.

>> BY ACCIDENT THE WRECKAGE WAS FOUND IN THE FOLLOWING MAY.

1923.

BY A LOCAL RANCHER.

>> Reporter: BOTH MEN HAD BEEN KILLED AND FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES WANTED SOMETHING UP HERE TO MARK THEIR MEMORY.

THEY LOOKED AROUND, THERE WAS THE ENGINE OF THE PLANE ITSELF.

THEY BROUGHT CEMENT AND BEGAN TO BUILD A MONUMENT, PUT ALL OF THEIR NAMES IN A TIME CAPSULE AND PLACED A PLAQUE ON THE SPOT.

IN THE DECADES SINCE, STORMS, FLOODS, A DISASTROUS FIRE.

BUT TWO MILES UP THE TRAIL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS STILL THERE?

THE SAME ENGINE AS A MEMORIAL, MAINTAINED BY CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CONSERVATION CORPS, THEN THE PARK ITSELF.

>> YOU ALMOST WANT TO STOP AND SAY A LITTLE PRAYER.

EMPATHY FOR WHAT HAPPENED UP THERE.

>> Reporter: ON A PLACE THAT'S COME TO BE KNOWN AS AIRPLANE RIDGE, IT RECALLS WHAT OTHERWISE MIGHT BE A LONG FORGOTTEN STORY ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>>> WELL WE ARE DEALING WITH A WARM PATTERN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

NEXT TWO DAYS, UNSEASONABLY WARM.

HEAT PEAKS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

FRIDAY MAY BE A SMIDGE WARMER BUT IT'S CLOSE.

THEN WE JUST STAY DRY A WHILE.

AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WIND WILL PICK UP, CONCERNED ABOUT SOME DEGREE OF FIRE DANGER.

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S A THROUGH THE ROOF TYPE SITUATION IN TERMS OF THE CHANCE OF FIRE DANGER.

BUT WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT SOME FIRE RISK RETURNS.

STORM TRACK IS DIVERTED WAY UP INTO OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT, 48, AND FRIDAY, UNSEASONABLY WARM FORECAST, WE'RE STAYING DRY ACROSS THE BOARD AND INTO TOMORROW'S DETAILS, VERY WARM.

I'M ACCUWEATHER METEOROLOGIST FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> DEBUTING AT THE FESTIVAL IN 2024, TOOK AUDIENCES INTO THE STRESSFUL WORLD OF CALLBOOKS FOR A PLAY.

RIOT PRODUCTIONS IS STAGING AN ENCORE OF ITS AWARE WINNING PLAY THIS WEEKEND.

>> Reporter: RIOT PRODUCTIONS IS A YOUNG THEATER COMPANY ON A MISSION.

>> WE LOVE TO TELL STORIES ABOUT WOMEN WITH ART AND AGENCY OF THEIR OWN.

STORIES OF WOMEN, THEIR FAILURES, FLAWS, STRUGGLES AND ALL THE THINGS WE OVERCOME THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO WITH HOW WE ARE LIMITED TO ONLY BEING WIVES AND MOTHERS AND SISTERS, BUT HOW WE TRIUMPH AND OVERCOME ON OUR OWN.

WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THOSE KINDS OF STORIES WE'RE AT THE CENTER.

>> Reporter: WHEN THEY CAN'T FIND EXISTING STORIES, THEY CREATE THEM.

SHE TURNED TO THE WORLD OF CALLBACKS FOR "AUDITION SIDES".

>> IT'S SOMETHING I FIND ABSURD, ESPECIALLY AS A FEMALE ACTOR, WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME IN PREPARATION.

HOURS IF NOT DAYS AND WEEKS PREPARING FOR WHAT COULD BE A MINUTE OR LESS.

SO I MAKE THE POINT IN OUR PLAY THAT IT'S LIKE SPEED DATING, FIVE MINUTES ACROSS THE TABLE FROM SOMEONE WHO PROBABLY WON'T CALL YOU BACK.

>> Reporter: ACTORS AT A CALLBACK ARE OFTEN PAIRED WITH TOTAL STRANGERS, BUT WHAT ABOUT IF IT WAS EX FROM AN UNFINISHED RELATIONSHIP?

>> I'M NOT CRAZY, THERE'S SOMETHING HERE.

>> A NIGHTMARE TO NAVIGATE.

>> Reporter: BUT SHE WROTE IT FOR HERSELF IN "AUDITION SIDES."

>> WE GIVE A LOT OF TRUST TO THE ACTORS AROUND US, AND IT'S HARD IF IT'S SOMEONE YOU HAVE BROKEN TRUST WITH IN REAL LIFE.

HOW DO YOU PULL IT TOGETHER AND GIVE AN AUTHENTIC PERFORMANCE WHILE SEEING THE ONE PERSON I WOULD NEVER WANT TO SEE AND THE ONLY PERSON I WANT TO SEE.

>> HELPS IF YOU DON'T LIKE RIGHT INTO HER EYES, PICKING A SPOT ON HER FOREHEAD.

>> TRYING TO DO A SCENE WITH OR IN FRONT OF SOMEBODY YOU USED TO LOVE, TRYING TO HOLD THAT PART OF YOURSELF IN JUST ENOUGH CHECK TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THE TEARS AND MOVE AUTHENTICALLY, DELIVER THE LINES IN A WAY THAT FEELS LESS THAN STILTED.

IT'S PART OF WHAT YOU'LL SEE US GO THROUGH.

>> YOU CAN'T LET ME GET THIS CLOSE TO YOU.

YOU HAVE TO CREATE THE TENSION.

YOU HAVE TO PUSH ME AWAY.

>> Reporter: UNTIL THIS SEASON, RIOT PRODUCTIONS HAD BEEN A NOMAD COMPANY, BUT THEY'VE GOT A GRANT FOR A TEMPORARY HOME AT MOXIE THEATER.
