Not really #CrossBorderRailcinema , but shot almost entirely on a train and overall tense and wonderful, as I've come to expect from ex-Yugoslav film making. And available for free, subtitled in French, German, Spanish, Polish and Italian because 🇪🇺 #ARTE rocks.

February 1993: Štrpci, Bosnia. Paramilitaries stop a passenger train and arrest civilians. Of the 500 or so passengers, only one man puts up resistance. This film tells the true story of the man who would not remain silent. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Film; 2025.
Ask and ye shall receive #CrossBorderRailcinema featuring irl European problems:
* not enough trains
* missed connections
* if your train breaks down in the afternoon you're stuck in Zany Belgium because NOT ENOUGH TRAINS
* 194 Euro Amsterdam to Paris ticket
* you have to look up tickets on some Dutch search engine called ZOEK
The train drama was a good excuse to get the (charismatic) protagonists stuck in Zany Belgium, well done.
