SUNDAY, AUGUST 9thJoin Wildflyer and our friends at the Trylon Cinema for a documentary day!
Trylon, located directly behind our Minneapolis shop, is showing two groundbreaking documentaries highlighting the lives of unhoused communities; DARK DAYS and STREETWISE.
On Sunday, August 9th, all ticket sales from the cinema will be donated to Wildflyer, and we'll be hosting a talkback at 4:30PM in our shop after the final showing.
THE DOCUMENTARIES:
DARK DAYS
(2000, 82m) dir Marc Singer
Dark Days is a harrowing portrait of the unhoused population living in the tunnels under Penn Station in New York. Shot in 16mm by inexperienced filmmakers and scored by DJ Shadow, it is one of the finest and rawest documentaries ever made.
STREETWISE
(1984, 91m) dir Martin Bell, Mary Ellen Mark, Cheryl McCall
A damning portrayal of America’s broken social safety net, Streetwise tells the stories of Tiny, Rat, and Dewayne—teens living on the streets of Seattle, making ends meet any which way they can.
RSVP FOR THE TALK BACK:
"I never had a mother, I never had a father, I never had a family. But now, I feel like I'm a part of this world down here." — Dee, DARK DAYS
