ABOUT

The Other Side is shot in Baja California, Mexico, telling a story you might not expect from the vantage point of 4 adventure motorcycle riders from Southern California. Showcasing the adrenaline rush of the wild side of Baja, it’s not that much different than the struggle to survive in everyday life.

SUPPORT Our Journey

Originally a fishing village, through agriculture, Punta Colonet grew to a community of approximately 4,000 people. The majority of people in Colonet work in fields picking tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc. Workers earn approximately $16 a day and often work 12 hours in a shift, 6 or 7 days of the week. Our mission for Punta Colonet is both to strengthen and empower families and to strategically invest in it’s emerging generation.

The Buena Onda Project began 5 years ago and we get closer to our goal every day. Visit the site and show your support!
