A land of superlatives, Australia is the world’s largest island, the flattest and most arid territory on the planet. Its geographic isolation and its extreme climate have fashioned an uncommon topography where barren stretches of land no longer scare anyone.  Thus this railroad, built in the heart of the Nullabor Plain - 200,000 km2 of semi-arid calcareous earth with barely a tree in sight. It takes three days to cross the  4 352 kilometers which separate Sidney from Perth; three days during which Emmanuelle Han will meet with singular characters, between madness, modernity and the outback spirit.

In India, it is said that it’s best to remain close to the sacred rivers so as not to become impure. That’s why Emmanuelle Han has chosen to embark upon the mythic railroad line the North East Express which runs across the valleys of Brahmaputra and the Ganges. By following this spiritual path from Guwahati to Delhi, and passing through the holy citiy of Agra, an unexpected facet of the country is revealed. India is a rapidly developing country, the middle class being its economic as well as cultural motor. The North East Express covers 1,880 kilometers in 22 hours - an opportunity to get closer to this new class of Indians, a class that’s slightly schizophrenic and the symbol of a country in full mutation.

From Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, the train of Reunification carries Emmanuelle Han on a 1,726 kilometer voyage. She discovers a country as modern as it is rural -oscillating between the desire for openness and an attachment to traditions.
Today, 50% of the population is younger than 25 years old and didn’t live through the tragic events of their country’s history. As Hanoi, the country’s capital, celebrates its Millennial Anniversary, what are the concerns of a society where young people represent such a large proportion of the population ?

If ever a train deserved its name, it’s the “Train of Life”.

Without it, 100 000 people on this remote inland region of Eastern Madagascar would be completely cut off from the world.

Emmanuelle Han climbs on board this clinking-clanking convoy from Fianarantsoa to Manakara travelling 163 kilometers along its 67 bridges and 48 tunnels. Welcome to this local version of a TGV, a Train of Great Vibrations… No reservations necessary and overbooking guaranteed!

From high plateaus to the shores of the Indian Ocean via grandiose landscapes, each stop is an occasion to visit these isolated villages and discover a local economy held together by a thundering thread of steel that’s 75 years old.
