Dust to Glory Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Dana Brown
Genres: Sports & Recreation
Rating:
Documentary filmmaker Dana_Brown, who created a visually striking look at the world of surfing in 2003's Step_Into_Liquid, hits dry land running in this portrait of the world of off-road racing. The Baja 1000 is one of the world's premier desert racing events; taking place both on and off the roads in and around Baja California, the annual road rally pits drivers against punishing conditions as they attempt to cover the thousand-mile course in 36 hours or less. With a wide variety of different vehicles competing -- from modified trucks to stock Volkswagens -- Dust to Glory takes viewers into the middle of the race, with camera crews following in the action while several drivers race with cameras mounted to their cars for a "you are there" perspective. Dust to Glory also puts a special focus on driver Mike "Mouse" McCoy, who hopes to achieve a unique distinction as one of the first drivers to drive the entire one-thousand-mile course by himself (most vehicles employ a team of drivers for the long and demanding race). Dust to Glory director Dana_Brown is the son of Bruce_Brown, director of such legendary sports films as The_Endless_Summer and On_Any_Sunday. Mark Deming, Rovi
