The Train of Salt and Sugar

Comboio de Sal e Açucar

2016

In 1989, as civil war ravages Mozambique, a battered train crawls along sabotaged tracks between Nampula and Malawi carrying desperate passengers trading salt for sugar, braving ambushes and brutal soldiers. A harrowing, humane wartime drama.
