NAIROBI, May 29 -- The first two parts of "My Railway, My Story," a three-part documentary produced by Xinhua News Agency on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) linking Nairobi to the port city of Mombasa was debuted on a Kenyan broadcaster on Sunday and Monday respectively, with favorable reviews.
The major public broadcaster KBC in the East African nation of Kenya showed the two parts, "Bridges," and "Stations," which revolve around the 79 bridges and 33 stations along the 480-kilometer-long railway respectively, with stories of people dedicated to its construction, during its prime time.
Kenyan observers on Monday lauded the initial two parts of the documentary, which will be 90 minutes long in total.
Stephen Ndegwa, a communication consultant and public policy analyst, noted that the film, "My Railway, My Story" aired Sunday showcased marvelous Chinese artwork in the construction of SGR.
"The documentary is an invaluable record captured at a momentous occasion when Kenya makes another milestone in national development," he said.
"The legacy of this line lives on. In the same case, SGR will inform the country's socio-economic discourse for many years to come, and this is well captured in the documentary."
Henry Wandera, an economics lecturer in Nairobi, believed the documentary was not only informative but also educative on many aspects of the project, after he watched the first part.
"It offers a glimpse of the standard gauge railway and its impact in Kenya. Close to five year's work is frozen in just 30 minutes as one travels from the Kenya to China and back as he interacts with professionals from the two countries."
