Train Of Freedom

Train of Freedom is a documentary by Karina Correa. The film focuses on the freedom of movement train in post-war Kosovo and more specifically on the relationships between the different ethnic groups that use the train. The film focuses on the universal theme of tolerance and what it means to individual people. The documentary was filmed over a number of days but in the film it appears as one day, the narrative is constructed through the stories of two of the train drivers. I really liked the documentary, i thought it was a interesting subject matter. I have a friend from Bosnia who had to leave the country when he was young due to the conflict there and he’s told me stories about how people from different ethnic groups and different religions lived side by side peacefully before the war and then when it started they became enemies over night so it was interesting to see how conflict has affected people in other countries in the same area.
