Last Train Home, an award-winning documentary directed by Chinese-Canadian
director Lixin Fan, will open in New York on September 3rd at IFC
Center. Every spring, China’s cities are plunged into chaos as 130 million
migrant workers journey to their home villages for the New Year’s holiday. This mass exodus is the world’s largest human migration–an epic spectacle that reveals a country tragically caught between its rural past
and industrial future.

Cambodian workers who hoped to see Who Killed Chea Vichea? on

Wow, that was fast.
We’ve only just completed the public TV version of our film Who Killed Chea
Vichea?, and already a group of Cambodian unions plans to show it. In
Cambodia, where it counts most. Their aim is to highlight the government’s
failure to conduct a real investigation of the 1999 murder of the Cambodian labor
leader.
