The World seen from the train (Le monde vu du train) is a French adventure travel television series presented and directed by Olivier Weber, an award-winning writer, novelist and reporter, known primarily for his coverage of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The documentaries were inspired by the author's books and reports around the world.[1]

Concept

[edit]

Olivier Weber takes his camera on a tour of railway carriages and compartments throughout the world.[2][3]

In several European Asian and Far East countries, the films take a new approach to the railway travel writing and filming genre by attempting to get to know people.[4] Slices of life, scenery and stopovers are the main ingredients of the programmes.[5][6]
