    documentry fans - I recommend Dark Days

    I saw Dark Days last night on tv. I had tried to see it in the cinema when it came out a few years ago but it didn't stick around too long. It is about the homeless people that lived next to the Amtrak tracks near Penn Station in New York.

    When I was a teenager I read an article about them and their sense of community sparked my interest in sociology which eventually led to me getting a degree in the subject.

    It was a very well done bit of work and anyone who likes documentries should check it out.

    Anyone have any they have seen lately to reccomend, I am in a factual mood.

                  another good one: "capturing the friedmans"

                  kinda disturbing, but very well done

                    I have to agree. Dark days is a great independent documentary. The story about how it was made is as good as the movie.

                      I have been trying to see that but it is proving really hard to find in London. I am sure if it wins the Oscar it will be more available.

                        I put that on Netflix a few weeks ago - looks like a very thought provoking flick.
