LAST TRAIN HOME, A film by Lixin Fan, NR, 87min, In Mandarin & Sichuan w/English subtitles
Winner - Golden Lion - Venice Film Festival
Every spring, China's cities are plunged into chaos as 130 million migrant workers journey to their home villages for the New Year's holiday. This mass exodus is the world's largest human migration—an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically caught between its rural past and industrial future. Filmed over several years in classic verité style Last Train Home follows one couple who've embarked on this annual trek for two decades, documenting their reunions with the children they leave behind in order to hold a grueling factory job. Emotionally engaging and starkly beautiful, Last Train Home's intimate observation sheds light on the human cost of China's ascendance as an economic superpower.
