LAST HARVEST

Synopsis

 

Feature-length documentary Last Harvest follows the remarkable journey of Mr. and 

Mrs. Xu, an elderly Chinese farming couple, on a forced relocation by the government’s mammoth and controversial South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Lyrical and 

intimate, the film brings us into the life of two compelling peasants facing major 

disruption late in life. It continues the story where other documentaries left off – after

the people have been relocated and have to re-build their lives, and offers a direct 

experience of the collision between traditional culture and modernization, through 

which we see the imminent extinction of Old China as New China emerges.
