International Competition

Every year in China the same dramatic ritual takes place: in the factory towns of the south, millions of migrant factory workers fight for space on overcrowded trains, trying to return home for the Spring Festival. ‘Last Train Home’ follows a couple who have lived this way for twenty years. They barely know their own children, who were raised by relatives back home. This year, they travel with additional purpose: they’re trying to bring home their runaway teenage daughter, so that she can return to school and not have to spend the rest of her life in a factory.
