Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea

Recommended upon my disappointment with "Bombay Beach". At first critical and a tad mean, it becomes a sympathetic film about an environmental mistake and asks difficult questions (what do we do with our mistakes? can they be fixed or should they be abandoned? who/what would we be leaving behind?) in a space that was always so much about escape and is clearly on the edges of reality.
