Online Post – Last Train Home (2011) Custom Essay

This paper is based on the documentary film – Last Train Home (2011, 88 minutes). This film follows the journey of Zhang family, a family of three among the 130 million migrant workers in China, who travelled back to their hometown every winter during the spring festival.
"Every spring, China’s cities are plunged into chaos as an astonishing 130 million migrant workers journey to their home villages for the New Year’s holiday. This mass exodus is the largest human migration on the planet, an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically caught between its rural past and industrial future. Working over several years in classic verite, Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Lixin Fan… travels with one couple who have embarked on this annual trek for almost two decades. Emotionally engaging and starkly beautiful, Last Train Home’s intimate observation of one fractured family sheds light on the human cost of China’s ascendance as an economic superpower." — Container
