CGiii Comment

Narrated by John Waters, this is an environmental tragedy that seems to be ignored by nearly every government official.

As a documentary, it has a very small audience - Metzler has concentrated on the eccentrics of the area and that over-shadows the case in point.

Only for residents.

Renowned cult film director John Waters narrates this quirky exploration of the Salton Sea, the massive Southern California lake that was created by accident a century ago, became a popular desert resort and has since developed into a refuge for a community of oddballs.
