Last Train Home

China’s booming economy is largely based on exploiting the vast population of cheap labor. Sacrificing the poor for GDP growth, the country runs the risk of making millions of families separated and their children uneducated. These issues could all pose a serious backlash against the country’s ambitious goal. Last Train Home examines not only the individual’s fate within this chaotic social evolution, but also the country’s loss and gain in a race to be the world’s next super power.
