Description or Abstract

Chugging along faulty infrastructure, and driven by corruption, Egypt’s railway system is on track to disaster, with 550 train accidents every year. Horrific deaths, public outrage, and politicians’ promises always follow. But the trains never change course—and it’s the poor who end up paying for a one-way ticket to death. Interviewees: Pascale Ghazaleh, Amr Nasr El-Din, Rashad El-Mitani Music: Merzifon by Turku, instrumental Oud from SoundCloud, Fi’idaya Mazaneeh by Mohamed Mounir, Nasheeds from SoundCloud
