This September, Cinema at the Museum presents a series of films that look at the art of documentary and the methods by which the genre reflects and connects our world to the screen. These films examine themes of surveillance, nature, colonialism, class, identity, and tradition, all through documentarians who showcase stories that impact the communities around them.

In 1999, Internet entrepreneur Josh Harris recruited dozens of young men and women who agreed to live in underground apartments for weeks at a time while their every movement was broadcast online. Soon, Harris and his girlfriend embark on their own subterranean adventure, with cameras streaming live footage of their meals, arguments, bedroom activities, and bathroom habits. This documentary explores the role of technology in our lives, as it charts the fragile nature of the dot-com economy.
