The first time in Darwin was quite surreal. I went there with Taylor and on our way to Darwin, a fighter plane flew over our car, only a few meters above it. It was a huge shock! Then when we entered the town, it looked completely abandoned, like it was already a real ghost town with nobody living there. When we finally met the people of Darwin, they were a bit skeptical about the documentary project, but we got along very well. And eventually they were interested in participating.
