Dust to Glory

Written, Directed and Narrated by Dana Brown, the son of Bruce Brown, who a generation or two ago brought us classics like 'On Any Sunday' and 'The Endless Summer', 'Dust To Glory' is one of the most exciting racing documentaries we've ever seen. Brown's extensive use of on-board and helicopter footage not only show the intense action of this grueling race but captures the rugged magnificence of Mexico's Baja Peninsula as well, if not better than anything you'll ever see on the Travel Channel. A dramatic soundtrack adds to the excitement and tension of the racing scenes and interviews with the stars as well as unsung Baja 1000 stalwards tell the fascinating story of this relatively obscure event and show the raw courage and endurance required to compete - especially on two wheels!

'Dust To Glory' also includes vintage footage of previous Baja races. Early competitors included Parnelli Jones, Steve McQueen and James Garner

The Special Features (stuff you won't see on cable TV) may be even better. They include a salute to Bruce Brown, a behind the scenes look at the making of 'Dust To Glory' and uncut versions of some of the film's most spectacular sequences, including one 2 wheeled competitor's high speed beach 'shortcut' along the Pacific coast, captured by one of Brown's helicopter crews, and a 115mph motorcycle slalom through traffic and dirt roads by a racer - and a cameraman trying to keep up.
