Off the Road

Streaming video - 2020

The Baja 1000, the biggest off-road motorsport race in the world, crosses Mexico’s largest desert region crossing the Mexican-US border. In this Western, which is surprisingly reminiscent of a musical, Jose Permar followed Rigo, Davis and Paco, three fans of this mechanical saga with a beat set by the “corridos” (epic lyrics) sung by a trio of flamboyant musicians. They are looking for an opportunity to be a part of the race and escape the apparent monotony of their small communities. In their journey, the three men will find something that is more important than the race itself.
