Lucky Express

Who are India's "railway children"? This eye-opening, heart-wrenching documentary charts the moving life stories of the impoverished and abandoned youngsters struggling to survive the challenging environs of the India Railways network─as they fall prey to drug traffickers, sexual predators, and other unfortunate consequences of their dire poverty. As seen through the eyes of a former vagrant, this film delivers an unsparing portrait of maintaining hope in the midst of hopelessness. 86 min.
