This is the story of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan, through the perspectives of twelve Amtrak passengers during a three-day, cross-country train trip. Filmmaker Brecke's photographic images of desolation, death, and human suffering in the burned out villages of Darfur and refugee camps of Chad, along with moving accounts of his experiences, illuminate the full dimensions of the crisis and raise serious questions about the world's willful indifference to it. For the twelve passengers, and thus the film's audience, this cross-country train trip becomes an enlightening and emotional journey through an indifferent American media landscape into the heart of the Darfur tragedy.
