Documentary "Dark Days"

When we think of the homeless and all typical ideas of who they are and how they are living we should think about the possibilities for anyone of us to find ourselves living on the other side of the tracts and avoiding the third rail. In the pitch black of the tunnel, rats swarm through piles of garbage as high-speed trains leaving Penn Station 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 a window into the experience that shatters the myths of homelessness by revealing a living community in tunnels beneath New York City and realistically capturing their resilience and strength to survive in a place we can't not image would be called home. With a haunting soundtrack by DJ Shadow.
