'Dark Days' anyone?

Doesn't this remind anyone of the documentary Dark Days? Where a guy lived underground in the subway tunnels of New York with homeless people for a month?

I have not seen this film yet. but 9 days is no where near comparable to how long the director of Dark Days dedicated to living underground, even so, Dark Days is classic and simply to my knowledge "untouchable".

Dark Days is an amazing film, but I don't think the point of Skid Row is to somehow 'beat' a previous record set by another documentary. 9 days is a lot longer than most would do and I'd rather someone make a documentary that brings up the subject of homelessness no matter what the premise than create most of the reality junk on television today.

I saw Dark Days too, but it was very New York centered. There aren't many underground cities here on the west coast.

Skid Row gives us the Los Angeles perspective. I was surprised to see how much it rained, though.

I like how more than one point of view of similar issues exist. It seemed like the Dark Days tunnel people had a better deal than Pras in LA since at least they had shelter and a spot they could keep going back to every day.

No two persons ever watch the same movie.
