Dark Days (2000) 2 x DVD9 - 10th Anniversary Edition
Mark Singer's astonishing debut is a stylishly shot black and white 16mm documentary which focuses on the homeless who inhabit the subway tunnels beneath Manhattan. Risking life and limb, the desperate, disparate men and women on whom Singer turns his unflinching camera build temporary shelters which they equip as best they can despite their abject poverty and the surrounding squalor. Overrun by vermin and forced to exist with little running water and scant sanitation, the subway dwellers are at least accorded the small blessing of being off the streets, even if they only find themselves under them. Their habitation is threatened, however, when the subway owners announce plans to have them evicted.

Dark Days, was released at the turn of the new century, and to celebrate its decade milestone, Oscilloscope Labs has released a 10th-anniversary edition, marking an upgrade in packaging for a film that has been absent from DVD for some time.
