The Iron Scar: A Father and Son in Siberia
"The Iron Scar" takes place on the longest train ride in the world, when a father and son cross two continents together just as the son is about to head out on his own, and as his father is in his final days. The characters on board are residents, the cabins villages, and the ride is more familiar to us than one might thing. This is all about fathers and sons and learning to let go.
