Annually, China's cities experience chaos as 130 million migrant workers return to their villages for the New Year. This massive migration, the world's largest, highlights China's struggle between its rural past and industrial present. Over several years, Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Lixin Fan (with Up the Yangtze producers) follows a couple, Zhang Changhua and Chen Suqin, who've made this journey almost every year for two decades. Like many rural poor, they left their children for grueling factory jobs. Their daughter Qin, now a rebellious teenager, resents their absence and craves freedom, causing her parents immense distress. Last Train Home, an emotionally engaging and visually striking documentary, offers an intimate look at one family's struggles, revealing the human toll of China's economic rise.
