DESCRIPTION:Film : Last Train Home, 2010 (87 min.) China\nFilmWorks United 
 International Working Class Film & Video Festival\nDirected by Lixin Fan 
 (China)\n When this documentary was made 8 years ago, the number of the 
 migrant workers from rural area of China to big cities were 130 million, 
 however, it is now 260 million in China. These are the workers who have 
 built the largest industrial power in the world. This film shows the lives 
 of these migrant workers and the mass migration back to their homes and 
 families during the holidays. This mass exodus is the world’s largest 
 human migration – an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically 
 caught between its rural past and industrial future. They have been 
 separated from their families during the year and many live in dire 
 conditions with no political and education rights in the cities. While 
 China is developing industry in the interior and workers are moving back to 
 their provinces, the vast majority still work and live on the coastal 
 cities as second-class workers. If they bring their children with them, 
 these children are not allowed to registered for school or receive benefits 
 of official residence including the healthcare, education and housing. 
 Their long estrangement from their children leaves deep scars. The film is 
 powerful in showing the lives of these workers as they fight for the last 
 train home.\nSee also: \nNumerous nominations and awards listed
