"Wang's film, Night Is Not Eternal, reveals Cuba's fight for democracy and its parallels with China's authoritarianism, challenging the notion of America as a true beacon of democracy."
"I don’t believe in America being the beacon of democracy... the erosion of democratic norms in the US throws both Cuba and China into sharp relief," says Wang.
"Wang shows how the immigrant experience is dislocated, questioning whether true change can be achieved from afar without returning to one's homeland."
"Members of the Chinese diaspora are similarly divided on the issue of Trump's presidency... highlighting disparities in perspectives regarding democracy and governance."
