Nevada – The True Wild West
Iconic landscapes, wild mustangs, gold veins and gambling: Nevada is more than just Las Vegas.
This state in the western United States embodies the myths, extremes and contrasts of the American West like almost no other place. Vast desert landscapes meet glittering cities, ancient cultures meet futuristic visions. Proud Indigenous communities live here, wild mustangs roam through endless valleys, and the dry soil still bears traces of the precious metal that once sparked the gold rush. This documentary embarks on a journey through this extraordinary state from the rugged mountain ranges of the national parks to old gold-mining settlements that tell of a time when adventurers sought their fortune. Yet Nevada is also a place of secrets and experiments: nuclear tests were carried out in the desert, the traces of which are still visible today. This documentary portrays Nevada as a place where the past, myth and the present converge in spectacular fashion – a true Wild West that remains alive to this day.
