It&#8217;s about a group of homeless folks who made their homes in an abandoned subway tunnel under the streets of Manhattan.  They had running water, electricity and well-built homes made of scavenged materials.  There were drugs, rats, and some interpersonal tensions.  But the ingenuity and perseverance of these folks is quite admirable.  My favorite parts were watching them cook: making cornbread and meatballs and all manner of &#8216;normal&#8217; foods in their tiny kitchens.  Amazing.  And somewhat reminiscent of the frontier era.  Oh, and the cinematography was quite unique as everything was shot in the dark underground using &#8216;night vision&#8217; cameras.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the trailer for your enjoyment (note: the music in the movie itself is a bit more subtle):<br \/><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Ah4CKsjyfi0\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Ah4CKsjyfi0\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>*Hat tip to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindonfire.com\">John <\/a>for netflixing this gem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I watched Dark Days as I was doing housework and eating lunch.* Wow.
