LAST TRAIN HOME
Every New Year, 130 million people leave China's industrial cities to return to their rural homelands--the largest human migration in the world. This overwhelming yet intimate documentary follows one family through their chaotic, desperate, agonizing journey. Presented in partnership with Hot Docs and Zeitgeist Films.
"Stunningly photographed and expertly constructed, Last Train Home features the work of a filmmaker who has immersed himself in the lives of his subjects . . . to explore the story of their fractured family. Many moments in this intimate movie are incredibly striking and ultimately symbolic of a much broader situation."
