THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS

The Ridgewood Public Library’s 13th annual Reel Voices Film Festival concludes next week with the showing of “In Transit.”

The documentary, which will be shown on Friday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m., offers an in-depth look at the passengers riding Amtrak’s “Empire Builder” train line, the company’s busiest, as it moves about the northwestern United States.

“I like to think of ‘In Transit’ as a documentary portrait of America,” the film’s director Lynn True explained in a recent interview. “Through the stories of passengers aboard trains traversing the country, we’re given unique access into the hearts and minds of everyday people, learning about their histories, hopes and dreams, ultimately giving us an intimate snapshot of our country today.”

While the movie was directed by True, it was actually the idea of famed filmmaker Albert Maysles, who died in March.
