Plagues & Pleasures from the Salton Sea
Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer 2006
73 minutes

Once known as the California Riviera, the man-made Salton Sea is mistakenly considered by the media to be an ecological disaster.

This documentary film introduces us to the old resort town’s history and its eclectic residents, from eccentrics hanging on to the glory days, to inner city families escaping hard conditions back home.
