MovieDocumentary
A documentary detective film about the construction of a 870 kilometres long highspeed railway line that started with a dream to connect the Baltic States to rest of the Europe when in 1991 Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania regained their independence from Soviet Union. Filmmaker Kārlis Lesiņš becomes a ‘citizen-investigator’ and goes on the road to find out why after 30 years and with only few years before the intended launch of the Rail Baltica railway line, the construction of this EU-funded project is significantly behind the schedule, over the budget and may never be finished at all. Kārlis follows the trail of Rail Baltica project, trying to get the answers - what has happened and what is happening? Traveling through all the involved countries, he meets officials, military personnel, investigative journalists, people whose land will be expropriated, employees implementing the project and potentially benefiting entrepreneurs, who open up to him with their versions of the story.

The film tells the story of the situation after World War I, when the newly established state of Latvia had to engage in a political and military struggle for its existence. The support of the Western allies (Great Britain, France, and the United States) played a significant role in Latvia's struggle for independence. Great Britain was the first to get involved in the fight for Latvian independence, with its warships reaching the Latvian coast in December 1918. The film's script is based on historical documents, including reports to the British government on the situation in Latvia by Austin Keenan, head of the British military mission, and British diplomat Herbert Grant Watson, as well as other historical evidence. The film's visual narrative consists of reenactments, photographs, and newsreels.
