Death Valley (2022)
Death Valley National Park, situated 118 miles West of Las Vegas, Nevada in Southeast California’s Mojave Desert, is the epitome of extremes. The valley floor, made of rock, sand, and salt flats, is surrounded by monstrous desert mountain ranges, creating one of the most baren and uninhabitable places on Earth. It is here, in the Mesquite Salt Flats and Sand Dunes, that a group of emigrants tried to make passage to California in search of a better life in the Winter of 1849-50. One pioneer died on this journey, the others dehydrated and starving, before the survivors were rescued by a group of scouts. The hottest, driest, and lowest place in all of North America, horrifically earned its name that Winter. “Death Valley, the Impossible Passage” depicts this journey.
