Press Citizen's People's Choice Award Winner Moby Dick by John Demory
Train to Nowhere by Camille Marlow
by Camille Marlow
| This statue is based on the book and documentary Train to Nowhere, the true story about eleven undocumented immigrants who were locked inside a baking railcar by smugglers and left to die a horrific death when no one released them as promised. The railcar rolled on to the farming community of Denison, Iowa, where newspaper and television reporters descened after the bodies were discovered. Train to Nowhere - part crime story and part immigration perspective - is an intimate portrait of those connected to the 2002 railcar deaths of eleven Central Americans and Mexicans. |
Statue Location: 201 S. Clinton St. Iowa City, IA 52240
