Synopsis
A clear-eyed look at railway life and the people who power the rails, with a focus on fairness, safety, and workers’ voices.

It centers on the human element—the lives, risks, and daily challenges faced by railway workers—while exploring how safety, leadership, and policy shaped their world.
