The City Dark is a feature documentary about light pollution and the disappearing night sky.
After moving to light-polluted New York City from rural Maine, filmmaker Ian Cheney asks:
'Do we need the dark?'
Exploring the threat of killer asteroids in Hawai’i, tracking hatching turtles along the Florida coast, and rescuing injured birds on Chicago streets, Cheney unravels the myriad implications of a globe glittering with lights; including increased breast cancer rates from exposure to light at night, and a generation of kids without a glimpse of the universe above.

Featuring stunning astrophotography and a cast of eclectic scientists, philosophers, historians, and lighting designers, The Dark City is the definitive story of light pollution and the disappearing stars...
