После окончания колледжа Эмори один из его ведущих студентов и атлетов Кристофер МакКэндлесс оставляет всё своё имущество, отдаёт накопленные за время учебы 24 тыс. долларов в благотворительный фонд, и отправляется автостопом на Аляску, чтобы окунуться в дикую природу. По дороге Кристофер знакомится с разными людьми, так или иначе влияющими на его жизнь.
Fabulously offbeat and refreshingly upbeat, this lovable film gets friendly with the natives of the Salton Sea an inland ocean of massive fish kills, rotting resorts, and 120 degree nights located just minutes from urban Southern California. This award-winning film from directors Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer 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. From wonderland to wasteland, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA captures a place far more interesting than the shopping malls and parking lots of suburban America, a wacky world where a beer-swilling Hungarian Revolutionary, a geriatric nudist, and a religious zealot building a monument to God all find solace and community.
