COMING FALL 2025

NIGHT TRAIN TO CAIRO

This dramatic book of colorful journeys is a talented filmmaker’s poignant memoir of spiritual battlegrounds, political borders, and the human soul under fire. 

Over a far-ranging 50 year professional career, award-winning TV director & documentary filmmaker, Craig D. Forrest, has crisscrossed 111 countries with equal parts camera and calling. 

He’s captured a rare catalogue of powerful, visual imagery: from miraculous healings across Africa, exorcisms in Argentina, war zones in Iraq, Haitian voodoo rites, tribal cults in South Africa, the open secret of Fidel’s sex trafficking in Cuba, cold mass graves in Bosnia, ethnic cleansing in Burundi, surreal Hindu ceremonies along the Ganges, and the horrific Killing Fields of Cambodia. 

Told in the spirit of Paul Theroux and Werner Herzog, Craig’s reflective book offers readers a raw, revealing look at the places most tourists never see–with both the light and darkness a lens can sometimes only catch.
