Night Is Not Eternal plot
“Night Is Not Eternal” is a personal exploration of political activism through the eyes of Chinese-American filmmaker Nanfu Wang. Over the course of seven years, Nanfu followed activist Rosa María Payá as she fought for democratic change in Cuba. Interwoven with Rosa’s story are Nanfu’s reflections on her Chinese upbringing and her observations of the eroding norms of democracy in the United States. The film highlights the universal human desire for freedom and the resilience of those who fight for it. It also serves as a reminder of the fragility of democracy and the need for vigilance in protecting it.
