old (BBC?) film on Partition featuring Train from Lahore

kmalik · Feb 7th, 2007, 08:02

A long time ago, I saw a really touching and balanced film about the partition that told the story in prominently featuring a train from Lahore. It might have been a BBC documentary. I think it was in English, but I might be remembering the subtitles.

I wanted to see it again with my wife to share the context of the partition better. The bad news is that I can't remember or otherwise locate the title. If anyone knows what I am talking about

please clue me in.

Thanks.

Don't know the movie, but was it based on Khushwant Singh's 'Train to Pakistan' ?

Capt - Unfortunately I haven't read Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh, so do not know.

PeakXV - Thanks for the link. From there, I have narrowed down the list to: The Division of Hearts, Partition and Train to Pakistan.

Now on to the next challenge of finding them...

Thanks a lot!
