Omladinske radne akcije su bile integralni dio socijalističke Jugoslavije. Kroz dobrovoljni rad hiljade mladih brigadira su doprinijeli razvoju zemlje i aktivno pomogli realizaciju ključnih infrastrukturnih projekata, kao što su magistrale, željezničke pruge, mostovi, tuneli, fabrike, stambene zgrade, škole, bolnice, parkovi itd. Jedan od tih projekata je i pruga Šamac – Sarajevo, izgrađena 1947. godine uz podršku hiljade mladih ljevičara iz Italije, Britanije, Grčke, Francuske, Danske, Švedske, Palestine itd. U ratu devedesetih godina pruga je oštećena, a posljednji voz Šamac – Sarajevo je vozio 2011. godine. Danas se nerijetko koristi kao staza ka obećanoj budućnosti ljudi koji su u pokretu.
Youth work actions were an integral part of socialist Yugoslavia. Through voluntary work thousands of young brigadiers contributed to the development of the country and actively helped to realize key infrastructure projects, such as highways, railways, bridges, tunnels, factories, residential buildings, schools, hospitals, parks, etc. One of such was Šamac-Sarajevo railway, build in 1947 with the support of thousands of young leftists from Italy, Britain, Greece, France, Denmark, Sweden, Palestine, etc. In the 90’ war the railway was damaged, and the last train Šamac – Sarajevo drove in 2011. Today it is often used as a path to the promised future for people on the move
Nika Autor je slovenačka umjetnica i rediteljka. Studirala je na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Ljubljani. Njen rad se uglavnom bazira na eksperimentalnim videima i dokumentarnim filmovima, filmskim esejima, fotografiji, kolažima, crtežima i prostornim video instalacijama. U radu se fokusira na istraživanju nečujnosti u odnosu na skrivene teme zaboravljene prošlosti i utišane sadašnjosti. Njen rad se fokusira na izradu specifičnih slika, konstrukcija kolektivnog sjećanja, kao i ličnih/usmenih narativa. Njena djela istažuju politiku azila i migranata, prava radnika i politike sjećanja. Dio je kolektiva Obzorniška Fronta, neformalnog kolektiva radnika sa polja filmske teorije i umjetničke prakse.
