El Mar la Mar

An immersive journey through the Sonoran Desert on the U.S.-Mexico border, EL MAR LA MAR weaves a harrowing oral history from the area with 16mm images of flora, fauna and items left behind by travelers. Subjects speak of intense, mythic experiences in the desert: A man tells of a fifteen-foot-tall monster, while a border patrolman spins a similarly bizarre tale of man versus beast.
