Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea
Once “California’s Riviera”, the Salton Sea is now America’s worst ecological disaster.
The Salton Sea: An inland ocean of massive fish kills, rotting resorts, and 120 degree nights located just minutes from urban Southern California. This film details the rise and fall of the Salton Sea, from its heyday as the "California Riviera" where boaters and Beach Boys mingled in paradise to its present state of decaying, forgotten ecological disaster.
