The Darkest Place

Jay Renteria, Ryan Lewis, Alonso Indacochea



"We shot this short documentary on the U.S.-MΓ©xico border, in the International Dark Sky Reserve primarily within Big Bend National Park. We were inspired by a paradox we observed β€” the very real impact national borders have on people, living things and the natural landscape of the region, and the tangible artificiality of the border in the face of the capaciousness of the night sky."


-- Jay Renteria, Ryan Lewis, and Alonso Indacochea
