Join the filmmakers on a thrilling quest - by motorcycle, airplane, boat, and horseback - to recreate a historic, unprecedented expedition across Baja. They meet Mexican scientists, hospitable and vibrant locals, and are even greeted by old friends. But beneath Baja's unwavering friendly and peaceful demeanor, many Baja Californians hint at a darker story that threatens their home and way of life.
Realizing that the Baja of old has changed, the crew encounters the results of overfishing, destructive resource extraction, the excesses of tourism, and blatant pollution. Nevertheless, the crew captures stories of hope and aims to understand how lessons from the past can help us find a way forward.
The Devil's Road is an adventure film about discovery and change. It acts as an environmental call to arms that pays homage to explorers of the past and lends a new perspective to the strange but awe-inspiring ecology of Baja California.
