This documentary uses testimonials and recollections of survivors, family members of the victims, fire-fighters, doctors and other eyewitnesses to reconstruct the horrific train crash of Eschede in June 1998. Using re-enacted scenes and computer-generated images, it looks for the reasons and for those responsible.
