BAM, RAILROAD TO NOWHERE
LENGTH : 73 MIN EURODOC-SCRIPT 2003-2004
DIRECTOR : JOUNI HILTUNEN
PRODUCER : KAARLE AHO
COMPANY : MAKING MOVIES (FINLAND)
BAM – Railroad to nowhere is a documentary about the pioneering
spirit, about people who built the future with their own hands, and
how today they are trying to hold on to it, even if the rest of world
would like to forget them.
BAM (Baikal-Amur Magistral) was Leonid Brezhnev’s plan to build
more than 3500 kilometres of railroad in five years in Southern
Siberia, as well as 200 new stations and communities. The work
was supposed to be done mainly by Komsomol elite youth.
We will meet people who moved to Siberia – as young idealistic
communists – in the 1970’s to build BAM and who have stayed
there until today. The same people who starred – as strong and
beautiful communists – dozens of Soviet propaganda films made
on the builders of BAM 30 years ago and who still seem to have
some of that pioneering spirit left. Or do they?
The historical back story will be told with the old Soviet archive
films. But in BAM – Railroad to Nowhere stars of those films will
tell their stories - and a story of a remote Siberian community –
also from today’s perspective
