Festival history

The Last Train Home is a feature documentary about the world's largest regular human migration. The story spans over two years in the lifetime of migrant workers, the Zhang's family, whose relationship are torn apart by years of separation in the era of "labor export" and urban migration. Now the mother struggles to bring the family together by embarking a family journey returning to their ancestral home for the Chinese New Year. In this much colder winter, can she make it?
