Dark Days

Marc Singer spent two years making this stark, black and white documentary, abandoning the surface world to join a community surviving in home-made shacks pieced together from salvage, in tunnels connected to the New York subway.

...it still has the power to shock and to deject.

Life is opportunistic and finds its way everywhere, and there is something Darwinian about these tunnel dwellers, who have found a niche where they can survive.

...puts a warm face on the anonymous: the discarded and the forlorn who live in the cracks beneath us and survive off our excess, but who aren't lost causes...

Marc Singer's documentary about a homeless community in New York, is haunting and intimate.
