Ryan and Colleen

We agree that the man at the end of the clips, who worked for the Coalition for the Homeless, would make an ideal narrator for “Dark Days”,  because  he sounds very well educated, and knows how to articulate his thoughts. He provides a  good contrast to the bias of the Amtrak official, and helps advocate the cause of the residents. His voice would be even, possibly with slight bitter undertones, arguing logically for the residents.

He could speak during transitions between scenes, and/or possibly in the part of the scene where the man is washing himself and cleaning his floor. He would be speaking a year or two after the facts, from his office at the coalition.

after the amtrak man’s speech/while the man is washing:

” Obviously, the residents of the tunnels know how to care for themselves, especially those who have lived there for several years. If their environments were as the amtrak official described, they would have fallen ill long ago”

After the conversation between the man and the woman in the tunnels:

“With homeless shelters becoming places of crime, the residents are being forced to seek options which are simply not there.”

The narrator would be serving the residents, in order to appeal to the community to raise awareness of their plight, which so many others suffer unnoticed.
