Dark Days
25th April 2004
This film by Mark Singer is completely unique.
Shot as a documentary about the homeless tunnel people under New York, the film gained many awards at Sundance. It is inspiring because even in the darkest places in the world where people hide, a flame of hope still burns.
You will never look at homeless people the same way again - they will no longer be faceless shapes that annoy you by having the gall to stop you and ask you for a few pennies. You will begin to wonder who they are and how they got there.
Rarely does a film have such social importance and done on a shoestring budget using out of date film stock, the result will shock and uplift you at the same time.
Backed by a scorching soundtrack from DJ Shadow, Dark Days deserves your attention - not an easy film to watch but it will pay you back tenfold for the effort!
Infinitely above the usual Hollywood drivel!
