The 8:55 to Baghdad (2005)

Retracing Agatha Christie's 1928 railway expedition from London to Iraq on the eve of the 2003 coalition invasion, Eames travels through the Balkans, Anatolia, and Syria. His narrative observes countries teetering on the precipice of profound geopolitical fracture, contrasting historic imperial glamour with modern sectarian tensions. It offers a haunting, timely snapshot of an ancient crossroads just before catastrophic regional realignment.
