Civilisation as we know it seems very far away. But the people who live here are not at all bothered by the infinite emptiness; they have a special bond with the desert and have even found happiness in this remote region. Filmmaker Chris Teerink visited some of them and tried to fathom the essence of their lives. For example, he encountered a man who has been hewing turquoise from the rocks for 27 years and rarely sees any people. The 77-year-old Howard Blair is the last cattle farmer in the eastern part of the Mojave. He keeps 400 cows on an area as large as the nearby city of Los Angeles. The family is under strong pressure to sell the ranch, but a life without the space, freedom and emptiness they are used to be inconceivable to them. Greg Parker is engaged in manufacturing bizarre "terminator"-like vehicles and for years has been collecting photographs of the scenery that surrounds him, where he experiences all sorts of divine and alien forces. Over the years, he has taken thousands of pictures of rock-drawings he came across in the desert. Written by Anonymous See less
