Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea

"Plagues & Pleasures On the Salton Sea" is a quirky and captivating documentary that delves into the fascinating world of the Salton Sea, an inland ocean in Southern California that has seen better days. Once a popular vacation spot, the sea has since fallen into disrepair, plagued by massive fish kills, rotting resorts, and scorching temperatures. Despite its decline, the film finds a cast of colorful characters who call the Salton Sea home, including a beer-swilling Hungarian Revolutionary, a geriatric nudist, and a religious zealot building a monument to God. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for offbeat storytelling, directors Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer bring to life a world that is both strange and alluring, offering a refreshing alternative to the mundane suburban landscapes of modern America.
