Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival

 
Last Train Home, which opens the 7th annual Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival, is one of 12 documentary films in competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The festival opened last Thursday and continues until January 31st in Park City, Utah.
 
Feedback via Twitter after the film’s first screening on Friday was uniformly positive:
 
@povdocs … “Last Train Home debut @ Sundance incredibly well-received. Sundance shuttles a little bit like Guangzhou trains. Just a little.”
@BBC_MyWorld … “Last Train Home – amazing doc on 130m Chinese migrant workers”
@Cirincione … “Last Train Home at Sundance, a brilliant, brutal look at lives of China’s migrant workers. At the screening last night.”
@radafilmgroup … “saw Last Train Home last night. Absolutely brilliant. A must see. Congrats Lixin Fan!”
