Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Mikumi Leo Tolstoy once said: "All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town." This documentary is great combination of those two elements. It takes you to a journey and as an audience you also feel like a stranger in the town. Tanzania Transit is basically about a train trip but leading characters help a lot to create a frame to understand what kind a travel it is. Travelling by bus or train give always strange feeling while passengers passing through towns or cities, like an outsider protected by glass, take a glance at unknown destinations before you arrive your main target. This documentary is great piece to give this feeling, to be a passenger, a stranger on the train. But being on the road is not the best part. The four main character are also giving a chance to understand how politics, religion or just being a lonely women affect a road trip. However the climax point for me is where the train hit a cow on railway where all people were same against cruelty.I love road stories and this is a great example of it. You should definitely watch if you can find a seat.
