Synopsis: Hotel Torgo is a documentary on what is widely considered the worst film ever made. In April of 1966, an El Paso fertilizer salesmen by the name of Hal Warren and his crew set out to make a popular commercial film. Armed with $16,000, no professional actors and no professional crew members, they made a film called "Manos: The Hands of Fate". The film is now regarded as one of the worst films ever made by many critics and historians.
