German railways coming up for auction
An enterprise for the future, or collision course to the bumper
A film by Herdolor Lorenz and Leslie Franke , 72 min, format: HDcam
„Why is it necessary that the the German railways is going public?", wonders Lucas Zeise, columnist of the Financial Times right at the start. And the film provides curious answers: so tax payers pay higher subsidies to the German railways, travelling by train becomes more expensive, the railroad network is reduced to a few ICE lines, and investors may barter railway property away.
