Train On The Brain is a raw dive into an often overlooked subculture. Alison Murray, the filmmaker, truly captures the gritty essence of life on the rails. The atmosphere is both adventurous and melancholic, as we follow her journey through the freight trains of Canada and the US. The pacing can be meandering, but it fits the lifestyle of the hobos, giving you a sense of their world. The film explores themes of freedom, community, and the sense of belonging among train riders, especially highlighting the experiences of girls in this male-dominated environment. The documentary stands out for its authentic representation and the candid interviews with the riders, revealing a different side of Americana that’s rarely seen.
