Last Train Home has been called “an intimate portrait of an unfathomable immensity,” focusing on one family’s annual New Year’s trek from the city to reunite with their relatives in rural China—along with 130 million other migrant workers making the same trip.

“Informed by a melancholy humanism, and finding unexpected beauty in almost unbearably harsh circumstances, it tells the story of a family caught, and possibly crushed, between the past and the future—a story that, on its own, is moving, even heartbreaking.” —New York Times
