Among the Palms The Bomb, or: Looking for Reflections in the Toxic Field of Plenty
Where the beach of the Salton Sea, California’s largest lake, starts to crunch, it’s no longer sand but layers of dead fish, plants, and insects forming a toxic mix. Derek is a Cahuilla tribe member whose ancestors fled here during 19th-century genocide attempts.. His community are now guardians of the once flourishing but increasingly deserted area.
