Last Train Home hit the front page of The New York Times movie section this past Friday. Singled out in a feature by critic Manohla Dargis, the award-winning doc was described as “…beautifully shot, haunting and haunted.”

Writing on this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Dargis said: “Nothing attests to Sundance’s commitment to off-Hollywood more than its documentary selections, which year to year remain its most qualitatively consistent suit.”
Last Train Home opens this year’s Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival. The February 24th gala at the Isabel Bader Theatre will have director Lixin Fan in attendance. Gala tickets (film screening and reception) are now on sale from the Human Rights Watch Canada office. Call 416-322-8448 or e-mail baoh@hrw.org for more information.
