Toronto Human Rights Watch Film Festival
Date: Feb 24,2010
Chinese-Canadian director Lixin Fan’s award-winning documentary, "Last Train Home" (2009), opens the 7th annual Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, co-presented with TIFF Cinematheque, on February 24, 2010.
"Last Train Home" draws us into the fractured lives of a family caught up in one of the world’s largest annual migrations. Over 130 million Chinese work in the booming factories on the coast. Each year countless millions of them attempt to return home to their villages for Chinese New Year which falls on February 14 this year.
Fan will be at the screening, co-presented with the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, and will talk about his film.
This year’s festival, running until March 6, features 10 documentary and feature films that focus on survivors and activists from around the world who are fighting to restore freedom, justice and a sense of community in their home countries.
