"Every other Sunday, in the fields and playgrounds of suburban Baltimore, a medieval fantasy world known as Darkon materializes. There, more than 200 role-playing adults brandish foam swords and elaborately plotted identities in service to a complex saga of blood and glory.

That saga, and the ordinary Joes and Janes who embody it, is the fascinating subject of “Darkon,” Andrew Neel and Luke Meyer’s thoughtful documentary about a subculture that invites ridicule more often than respect."
