" Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought... " — Albert Szent-Gyorgi

Into the Aurora is a documentary project following the life of two artists, Eric Adamsons (Puerto Rico) and Heins Kim (New York), with their colleague, Samúel Hjaltalín (Iceland) as they immerse themselves into the cultural and scientific understandings of the Aurora Borealis.

Throughout the story, the artists document their collaborations with international institutions, both educational and private enterprise, and individuals alike in an attempt to send cutting edge imaging equipment into heart of the Aurora at an altitude of approximately 300 kilometers. Working with students from several Universities and throughout the globe, they engage in complex scientific endeavors necessary to reach their goal.
