Dark Days

Marc Singer's critically acclaimed documentary DARK DAYS, an insightful portrait of a homeless population living in the underground train tunnels of New York City in the 1990's.
In the pitch black of the tunnel, rats swarm through piles of garbage as high­speed trains 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 with a hypnotic soundtrack by legendary turntablist DJ Shadow, 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 and honestly capturing their resilience and strength in their struggle to survive.

DARK DAYS premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival where it went on to win the Audience, Cinematography and Freedom Of Expression Awards in the Documentary Category (it remains the only documentary film to ever win three awards at the festival). DARK DAYS also won the Best Documentary Award at the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards and the Best Documentary Award from the 2000 Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
