Workington/Torun Zuzel Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 This superb movie was recently screened on BBC4 and is available in the UK on DVD. It is a dark and powerful tale of a former Slovenian speedway champion and his younger cohort mixed up in a people smuggling racket. They traffic people from the Croatian border across Slovenija and into Italy. But for the poor unfortunate's they transport a better life in the West is not what awaits them....some of them fall into the hands of a gang that trade in human organs and body parts. Shot extensively in and around Krsko there's a lot of speedway action in the film and the likes of Greg Hancock, Sam Emerlenko, Scott Nicholls, Nicki Pedersen and I think Matej Zagar all feature. You also get to see plenty behind the scenes shots of the Krsko stadium, pits and clubhouse. A really outstanding piece of film making which I urge all speedway fans to check out!

Workington/Torun Zuzel Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi there Tommy in Zielona Gora(former team of Workington's Carl Stonehwer!!), you can order it for £7,99 from Play.com. Not sure of the postal costs to Poland but I got my copy delivered free in the UK. The DVD also contains an interesting documentary of about 15mins about the making of the film and again it features a bit of speedway. Think you will enjoy it, it comes with Slovenijan dialog and English subtitles. Also features in the movie some old footage of Yugoslav speedway in the Tito period(1970s/1980s ??). Maybe some Slovenijan fans can identify it. You see Speedway virtually from the start of the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
