A chance to consider lives around us and amongst us, these once-a-month documentary nights are intended to help us look collectively at an issue through the lens of documentary film, and foster thoughtful post-film discussion in a judgment-free atmosphere.

Dark Days [OCTOBER 2009]



This film, which is quite literally groundbreaking, reveals a way of life unimaginable to most people... that of hundreds of homeless living deep underground in an abandoned New York City railroad tunnel. With homes built out of scrap metal, plastic, and plywood, they have created a commmunity that boasts electricity, furniture, and working kitchens, not to mention the comaraderie and support from each other. Some have lived in the tunnel for 25 years. British director Marc Singer's film, accompanied by a moving soundtrack from DJ Shadow, consists of candid conversations with tunnel residents, who are intelligent, funny, optimistic, and above all, human.
