Last Train Home - at Docs Soup

LAST TRAIN HOME AT DOC SOUP January 20th.
Lixin Fan’s LAST TRAIN HOME from Canada is the documentary chosen for the monthly Wednesday Doc Soup series at the Bloor Cinema, Toronto.

The film centres on the Zhang family.  The backdrop is the 130 million Chinese who travel every lunar New Year from the cities where they work to reunite with their families.  They take the train or whatever possible alternative transportation.  The film is portrayed by the Zhangs themselves.  See capsule review in the review section of the site.
