DESCRIPTION:Last Train Home, 2010 (87 min.) China \nFilmWorks United International 
 Working Class Film & Video Festival \nDirected by Lixin Fan (China)\n\nWhen 
 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.\n\nSee also:
