Dark Days Documentary

I saw this at a cinema near here last year, they were showing it for free (bizarrely), pretty bloody dark indeed.
I've heard of similar going on in quite a few other cities, quite a cool art scene under some of them too.

What's it about?
Don't have time to watch it now, the description says something about Agenda 21 though, which is a favourite subject of conspiracy theories at the moment.

Nothing to do with conspiracy theories.
It's a documentary about homeless people living in The Freedom Tunnel in New York.

Thanks for linking.
Have you seen Carts of Darkness about some of the homeless people in B.C.?

Saw this a few years ago,
interesting stuff, although ISTR finding it difficult to be completely sympathetic towards the people it featured (there are people dealing with worse things than them in other parts of the world).

I know what you're saying, but I think everything's relative isn't it? I wouldn't want to live the way these guys did. I liked the bit at the end where one of them gets his (her?) own place, above ground :)

Oh, definitely.
In some respects, their situation is all the more affecting because it's one we could easily find ourselves in, by making bad life decisions.

Brilliant, i love that kind of mentality:
"What about Africa!?! They don't even have an underground there for their homeless to live in, these guys in NYC are actually lucky in comparison..."

Seriously, that way of thinking is just ridiculous.
