John Waters narrates this strange and wondrous history of a place once called the California Riviera and now known as one of America’s worst ecological disasters: a fetid, stagnant lake coughing up dead fish and birds by the thousands.
Part environmental exposé and part portrait of the hardy eccentrics who have carved out lives for themselves around the Salton Sea’s edge, the film is “a hilarious and kindly ode to a fallen paradise.”
