On TV: LAST TRAIN HOME

Coming to POV next Tuesday, September 27: LAST TRAIN HOME

Lixin Fan’s jaw-droppingly beautiful and affecting film about the mass migration of Chinese peasant workers premiered at IDFA in 2009, where it won Best Documentary, and went on to Sundance and a host of other festivals the following year. Following a limited theatrical run and DVD release, it now comes to PBS’ celebrated POV series.

I wrote about the film before its theatrical run here.
