- Summary:
- Once a thriving - and reputedly debauched - mining settlement in Death Valley, California, today Darwin is little more than a ghost town, harbouring a scant population of just 35. Away from the trappings of the modern world, this disparate community lives an uncomplicated life without government, church, jobs, or children. Through a series of candid interviews, Nick Brandestini uncovers the often troubled pasts of Darwin's inhabitants, each drawn to the isolated existence this outpost can offer them, even if some can feel trapped in the sweeping expanse of the Mojave Desert.
