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 an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically caught between its rural past and industrial future. Last Train Home portrays the fractured lives of a single family caught up in the annual migration. An emotionally engaging and visually beautiful documentary.

Produced by Mila Aung-Thwin and Daniel Cross. Director of Photography: Lixin Fan. Studio Spotlight screening courtesy of Zeitgeist Films.
