beautifully filmed and photographed documentary about a group of people from a community in california called bombay beach, right at the salton sea. “ Director Alma Har’el was born in Tel Aviv, where she began her film career as a video artist, mixing live video content for music concerts around Europe. After moving to the US she established herself as music video director, creating several critically acclaimed videos. Her work with Zach Condon and the band Beirut resulted in the award winning music video for their single “Elephant Gun” which earned her a VMA nomination for best directorial debut.”

became a huge fan of vice tv documentaries featured on the vbs.tv website. the one posted here follows the first (and maybe only) iraq metal band acrassicauda. a vice team followed them for more than three years from war to post war times 2003 - 2006. there is also a short trailer on what happened after that if you click here. you should start with the long feature though.
