Dark Days
(2000, dir: Marc Singer)
A truly classic documentary celebrating its 10th anniversary, Dark Days takes you on a journey you will never forget. In the pitch black of the tunnel, rats swarm through piles of garbage as high-speed trains leaving Penn Station and tear through the darkness. For some of those who have gone underground, it has been home for as long as twenty-five years. Deeply moving and surprisingly entertaining, Dark Days is an eye-opening experience that shatters the myths of homelessness by revealing a thriving community living in tunnels beneath New York City, honestly capturing their resilience and strength in their struggle to survive. With a haunting soundtrack by DJ Shadow, the film is the winner of three Sundance awards, the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary and an LA Film Critics Award for Best Documentary.
