In 1950, the thriving coal mining town of Dawson, New Mexico was abruptly closed down. Decades later, the few surviving inhabitants contemplate the sparse ruins of the old town and share memories of the place they once called home. Through archival photographs and the stories of former residents, this documentary provides a poignant glimpse into a modern-day ghost town.
