Year of the Dog

Director of Photography

Chinese New Year isn’t just a holiday. It's the largest annual human migration on Earth. And to Yang Jianguo and Liu Mingchun, it's the only time they get to reunite with their children 1,000 miles away. VICE News followed the couple on a 30-hour train ride from Shenzhen to their home in Sichuan for their yearly family reunion.

This 26-minute, observational documentary was awarded the Overseas Press Club of America’s David A. Andelman and Pamela Title Award for “Best international reporting in the broadcast media showing a concern for the human condition.”
