Where to Watch

Economic orphans. The harsh reality of surviving and supporting your family if you’re from rural China. Work long hours doing monotonous work & because you can’t raise your kids & support them, they resent you, don’t listen to you & the cycle continues until the companies find a cheaper place to outsource labor & you are at risk of your job. Your only hope: an annual hellish trip home that makes traveling home for Thanksgiving/Christmas look like a trip down the street in a limo. We are extremely fortunate. Last Train Home is a must see, heartbreaking documentary about real people & universal problems of trying to give children what you don’t have, but being unable to bridge years of miscommunication.
