Confused Australian wondering how Darwin was an isolated community.
Plot summary: Darwin is a documentary feature about an isolated community at the end of a weathered road in Death Valley, California. Propelled from society by tragic turns, the people of Darwin (population 35) must now find ways to coexist in a place without a government, a church, jobs, or children. The film tells the story of a uniquely American place and yet a place that is unique even within America.
I've been there a few times. It's pretty standard for a small desert town. There are certainly shittier shitholes in Nevada.
This was a great watch. Haunting and cool to see how these people live.
I am from remote South Australia (live in the big city now) and always thought that terrain was unforgiving but there really is nothing out there.
I liked it. I lived in Peach Springs, Az. in the 70s and it was similar.
