All abroad, the last train home...


I have been contrastingly thinking about films, docs and animation over the summer (plus placements..) Anyway I was wondering did anyone saw the doc on 14th September, Last Train Home by the talented Lixin Fan.

This documentary was set before the Beijing Olympics 2008 and is based upon migrant family and their each year struggle against other 130 million migrant workers and the rush to get home for Chinese new year.

This captures not just the society hardness of working and living in factories to make money but the camera doesn't stop when the family has arguments, which creates the audience feel a little uncomfortable.
