Plot (short): 8 short stories including interviews about California and teen lives. 29 minutes total. Ranch, wind farm, geography, school (classroom with Mac PCs). Optional English subtitles. On DVD-ROM 8 sheets, 8 texts, 2 handouts. Pic from the official trailer. Sounds interesting. I haven't seen all of it, but most or all teens are obviously quite old.

Founder and director Paul R. Heil died in 1979. So current producer/director not known. And not sure if this a full German production of all 8 movies.

There's also another 2011 DVD (28 minutes) Kalifornien, der Goldene Staat - The Golden State) aka Kalifornien/California (DVD title), coming soon.
