dark days
music, pictures, true December 6th, 2008I recently got the documentary Dark Days from InternetFlicks, and I wanted to share it with you. It tells the story of a few of the people who live in the abandoned train tunnels underneath New York City, and it’s absolutely one of the most gripping, heartfelt and memorable documentaries I’ve ever seen. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
Here’s a clip of the first ten minutes of the film.
You’re probably lucky that I wasn’t able to find a link to the complete movie online, because otherwise you’d have sat here and watched the entire movie, because it’s so compelling and unusual.
As a bonus, the music (composed by DJ Shadow) is particularly excellent. In fact, some of it may even sound familiar to you if you’re a regular listener to the radio show This American Life.
Enjoy!
