- Last Train Home: a new movie on a Sichuan migrant worker's family
Seen this spring at "New Directors/New Films," Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Lixin Fan's prize-winning documentary Last Train Home is an intimate portrait of an unfathomable immensity, focusing on a single family caught up in the world's largest mass migration. Opening overhead shots show a huge mob waiting in the rain to push their way into China's Guangzhou railroad station—participants in an annual New Year's journey made by 130 million workers to their homes in the nation's rural outback. Fan then picks up on the struggle waged by the Zhangs, a married couple of Guangzhou sewing factory workers, to reach their Sichuan village 1,200 miles away
