The Union Train

Ștefan Marcu / Romania / 2024 / World Premiere / 24 min.


synopsis

The populist Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) organised a train for its supporters on the national holiday of Unification Day to visit celebrations culminating in the nationalist speeches of AUR’s President George Simion. The observational footage of passengers and participants in the grand convention brings to light the dangerous rise of the far right in Romania.

“We need leaders who love their country, their people and those people’s values.”
