Train of Freedom is a feature documentary which presents the voices of all communities alike, it is an open forum seeking to explain the realities that deal with division and reconciliation. The film portrays passengers, conductors, ticket takers and workers who ride the train daily. These are the people that set an example of the hopes and challenges for the future Kosovar society.

Being the first line in Kosova (also known as Kosovo), this railway was built in 1874.
The train has traveled amazing journeys throughout its existence. At its peak, it transported passengers on luxury cabins from as far as Athens to Zagreb. The well known Acropolis train also ran through this railway. Up until the war in Kosovo, the train was a major component for trade and travel. During the war, dark times made their mark when nearly one million Albanians were driven away by Serbian forces who ran a campaign of ethnic cleansing. People were forced into packed cars and deported to Macedonia. Before, during and after the war, enormous sacrifices have been made by the Kosovars at all levels of society to achieve the right to self-determination.

The railways remained grim until the launch of "The Freedom of Movement Train". It began as a United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) program that promoted multiculturalism and post-war reconciliation among all the communities in Kosova including Albanians, Serbs, Romas and Ashkalis. The Freedom of Movement Train runs from Fushe Kosove (Kosovo Polje) through the conflicted area of Mitrovica up to Leshak (borders with Serbia) and back. The Freedom of Movement Train seeks to break the barriers caused by ethnic tensions.
