Urban Explorers: Into the Darkness Directed by Melody Gilbert, 2007

Welcome to the captivating world of urban exploration, an international subculture of fearless thrill-seekers who lurk beneath city streets and trespass into long-abandoned buildings, defiantly searching for unseen treasures of modern civilization. Documentary filmmaker Melody Gilbert follows Max Action, Slim Jim, Katwoman, Mr. X, BHV-Fred and Turobzutek as they infiltrate aging lunatic asylums, abandoned government sites, faded tourist attractions, sewers, drains, and even the forbidden Catacombs in Paris. Many explore armed with only a camera, often snapping astonishingly beautiful photos. “Fascinating, particularly at a comfortable armchair’s distance.” -Variety
