Even in the darkest night, hope remains.
Over seven years, Doc Edge alumna Wang (I Am Another You) follows Cuban activist Rosa María Payá as she challenges an oppressive regime and fights for democratic reform in Cuba. Woven into Rosa’s courageous journey are Wang’s own reflections on growing up in authoritarian China and her unease with democratic backsliding in the US. The result is a powerful, deeply personal exploration of the universal longing for freedom, the cost of dissent, and the urgent need to defend democracy wherever it is threatened. Intimate and thought-provoking, the film is a bold reminder that the fight for liberty knows no borders and requires constant vigilance.
