A Year in the Desert: Anza Borrego
September 1, 2010
Each season in the Anza Borrego desert has its special creatures: tiny hummingbirds, darting lizards, slithering snakes, head-butting bighorns. Their land is seared by ground temperatures of 180 degrees, swept by a flash flood, even blanketed by a snowstorm. Yet they not only survive, but thrive. Of interest: When the State threatened to close Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the film was rushed to completion, and copies hand-delivered to every last legislator. They then had a change of heart. And the Park survives and thrives. Both filmmakers have received numerous regional and national Emmy Awards.
