Sahara 'Dust to Glory' takes the checkered flag
by Wesley Morris

Yeah, the occasional brown splotch that smacks the camera lens in "Dust to Glory" is mud. Director Dana Brown's follow-up to last year's invigorating surf hit "Step Into Liquid" finds him ardently profiling the drivers of the Baja 1000, a grueling on- and off-road race that takes place every fall in northwestern Mexico. Speed junkies who don't mind a little sappiness between courses of eating dust shouldn't miss this new documentary. Read the full review
