Imperial Irrigation deals with the history and multiple narratives that interweave in the Salton Sea in California. The history of the American West was inscribed by natural events, Native Americans, explorers and settlers, the railroads, agriculture, tourism, and, always, the American military. In late 1944, the US air force began dropping the first out of over 150 test atomic bombs from Wendover Army Air Field into the Salton Sea.
Film presented with the kind support of the Austrian Embassy in Mexico.
