Returning to POV for an encore screening this Monday, August 5: LAST TRAIN HOME
Lixin Fan’s masterful examination of Chinese migrant workers bowed at IDFA in 2009, where it picked up the best feature documentary award. It went on to screen at a host of fests, including Sundance, New Directors/New Films, San Francisco, Seattle, Human Rights Watch, Cleveland, Cinema du Reél, RiverRun, Thessaloniki Doc, and Hong Kong. POV originally screened the film in its 2011 season.
I previously wrote about the doc upon its theatrical release here.
