When I was living in LA a few years back I met one of the guys who produced it. After meeting, him I saw the film at the festival in Temecula. Now I’m a fan, but I don’t think he’s done any films since.

I think he is too busy selling dead fish to make any new movies – http://www.saltonseadoc.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=40

[quote=svelte][quote=teacherSD]That sounds a lot like the Salton Sea. A really cool documentary about it came out a few years ago.

Trailer

I show it to my students as part of a lesson on environmental policy. [/quote]

I hope you realize that the current Salton Sea was created by the accidently breach of a dike in 1905 during a heavy rain season. It’s kinda like a puddle of water that develops during a heavy rain, only to evaporate when the weather is drier. Why we feel we need to “save” the Salton Sea is beyond me.

Yes, that is something that is discussed in the film and we discuss as a class. The two main arguments for saving the Salton Sea are 1. – it provides a stop for migratory birds that have lost coastal wetlands due to development (houses, etc.) and 2. the dry parts of the sea cause dust storms that appear to be having adverse effects on the residents of the Palm Springs area (increase in asthma, etc).
