Dark Tourist
Created by Polly Fryer, Carthew Neal, Mark McNeill, David Farrier
On Netflix
A curious, darkly playful documentary travelogue that interrogates why people are drawn to sites of tragedy and atrocity, balancing anthropological inquiry with irreverent humor.
The definition of "tourism" is redefined as New Zealand filmmaker David Farrier sets his sights on the world of dark tourism. From nuclear tourism in Japan to Pablo Escobar-inspired tourism in Colombia to frontier tourism in Turkmenistan, David visits the world’s grisly and offbeat destinations, meeting travelers drawn to them, and the people telling these stories day after day.
