Mexican Madness

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The story of the Rio Balsas Power Boat Marathon
The State of Guerrero is one of the most arid and beautiful in Mexico. Once a year the canyons and the river are shattered by the roar of power boats.
Visiting crews from all over the world send their 600hp jet-boats snarling down the rapids at 70 miles an hour - The 400-mile race lasts five days and passes through rapids and canyons, lakes and the open sea. Each night the Mexican army build a barbed wire camp on the beach - bandits without, scorpions within. For the Rio
Balsas is much more than just a river race - it is a journey through Mexico.
