Synopsis:
In the mid 90s a large wastage of goods on northbound trains from Trondheim was discovered. After a long investigation, the spotlight was finally directed at a small train station on Ranheim, furthest east in Trondheim. It turned out that one of the trains had been subjected to a number of hidden robberies over a two-year period. The case took an unexpected turn when the culprits turned out to be very young boys in the ages 11-15.

Comments:
“Train Robbers” is a nostalgic, funny, serious, warm, sad and poetic coming of age documentary about kids that didn’t fit in at school or the football team. This could have been a film about adult men with drug addiction, prison sentences and split families. But it is not. This is a story about the children that had the future ahead of themselves, but society let down.
