About this Movie
Night Is Not Eternal
From acclaimed filmmaker Nanfu Wang (HBO's In the Same Breath), this deeply personal exploration of political activism follows Rosa María Payá, a young activist and daughter of five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Oswaldo Payá, in her fight for democratic change in Cuba. Over the course of seven years, Nanfu follows Rosa's transformation from grassroots activist to international figure – while weaving reflections on her own Chinese upbringing and drawing parallels to unprecedented protests in Cuba and China, and growing unrest in the United States. A powerful meditation on individual action against seemingly insurmountable odds, Night Is Not Eternal reflects on the complexities of small acts of defiance to create a narrative that crosses geographical boundaries while underscoring the universal longing for freedom.
Director: Nanfu Wang
