Who boards the train
Valerio Filardo
2025
An observational documentary following the last journey of a train from Sicily to Lourdes. Dubbed "The White Train", it used to bring several elderly people, as well as many individuals affected by disabilities, on a two-day spiritual and physical journey carried solely by hope and faith. Due to financial constraints, the train ceased to exist last year.
