THE CITY DARK chronicles the disappearance of darkness. When filmmaker
Ian Cheney (King Corn) moves to New York City and discovers skies almost completely
devoid of stars, a simple question -- what do we lose, when we lost the
night? -- spawns a journey to America's brightest and darkest corners.
Astronomers, cancer researchers, ecologists and philosophers provide
glimpses of what is lost in the glare of city lights; blending a
humorous, searching tone with poetic footage of the night sky, what
unravels is an introduction to the science of the dark, and an
exploration of the human relationship to the stars.
