DARK DAYS (2000)
When I worked as an advisor at Brooks Film School, one of my students turned me on to this cool doc. Poor people living underground in the train tunnels and what their life is like. It has a happy twist towards the end when Amtrak goes to evict them but the filmmaker himself lands up bartering a deal that get's them straight into low-level housing..A horrific ending! ;-)
Dark Days Movie Review & Film Summary (2000) | Roger Ebert
Marc Singer's film shows an extraordinary world that exists below the streets of Manhattan. In the perpetual darkness of the tunnels, people make their homes. They build shacks out of cardboard and lumber, and fill them with furniture dragged down from above.

Dark Days is a documentary that enables its viewers to confront poverty on a human level by presenting its subjects, for the most part, like anyone else, living lives, despite their socioeconomic difference, relatable to our own.
