A DVD has also been made of Salamatty Kazakhstan, but only with Dutch subtitles. The spoken language is Kazakh. It’s nice when films remain visible, even after a release in the movie theaters. And slowly but surely, the real film lovers are starting to find out that not everything can be seen through the streamers. Fortunately, DVD still exists, and is starting to go the way of vinyl: nice to have something tangible.
Logline:
The fully equipped train Salamatty Kazakhstan (Healthy Kazakhstan) travels non-stop for 8 months through the interior of Kazakhstan to pay attention to a population that has limited access to medical care. The film shows life on board doctors and train crew during the long journey, and the people from the countryside who come for consultation with their ailments and daily concerns.
