Today we speak with Nanfu Wang, about her new documentary, “Night is Not Eternal,” a portrait of the Cuban struggle for democracy, with a focus on Cuban human rights activist Rosa Maria Payá. Nanfu was previously on the pod discussing her last documentary “In the Same Breath”, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award in 2022. In that film, Nanfu found the focus of her previous work, which had been situated firmly on her native China slipping a bit, and found herself examining the way the America that she had immigrated to dealt with the COVID crisis as well as the Chinese response. In a similar manner, “Night is not Eternal”, as you'll hear, was meant at first to be a portrait of Cuban Activist Rosa Maria Payá, as well as of Rosa's father, Oswaldo, in a sense a legendary advocate of democracy for Cuba, and one who was killed by the security services of the nation he had refused to leave. But the portrait of Rosa and the focus on Cuba spawned an almost mirror-like depiction of Nanfu herself, and her own wishes for an end to authoritarianism in her home county. And, over the years that she shot and edited the film, she found that she was beginning to recognize some early warnings of authoritarianism in her adopted country, one that, especially upon becoming the mother of a Chinese-American child, she had grown to love. You can watch "Night is Not Eternal' on HBO and Max. Follow: @nanfu on Instagram and @wangnanfu on X @topdocspod on Instagram and X The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

“Finding people who praise the government is easy. Finding people who are critical of the government is easy. What is the most difficult is convincing some people who are ordinary citizens who have information to come out and speak up. ” --- director and producer Nanfu Wang
The HBO Original six-part documentary series Mind Over Murder, directed by Nanfu Wang and produced by Vox Media Studios chronicles the bizarre and psychologically complex story of six individuals who were convicted for the 1985 murder of a beloved 68- year-old grandmother, Helen Wilson, in Beatrice, Nebraska. Despite five of the individuals originally confessing to the crime, the “Beatrice Six” as they became known, were exonerated by DNA evidence in 2009, a turn of events which divided the rural town and incensed the family of Helen Wilson. As the filmmakers track the case from the murder, through investigation, trial, exoneration and two civil suits, shifting perspectives cloud the truth; a stranger-than-fiction tale emerges that raises salient questions about the reliability of confessions and memory in criminal cases. Director Nanfu Wang (Hooligan Sparrow, One Child Nation, In the Same Breath) joins us for a conversation on her own journey to gain the confidence of a community convinced they already knew the truth, uncovering the venality of local government officials, and her ideas about how storytelling can be a way to break through to people traumatized by violence and misinformation.

On the Tech Policy Press podcast we talk a lot about the intersection of technology, media and politics. We talk about the flow of information and how political elites, journalists and citizens shape it. There is substantial contrast in how the pieces fit together in China, for instance, compared to the United States. And yet, there are parallels that one might not expect. A recent documentary film explored these issues in the context of a particularly compelling moment in time: the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Directed by Nanfu Wang, https://www.hbo.com/movies/in-the-same-breath (In the Same Breath) (HBO) is a riveting account of how the pandemic unfolded, how governments tried desperately to control the message as it did, and the ways in which citizens in two very different cultures and systems reacted, even as they themselves participated in shaping of the discourse on social media. This episode of the podcast features a discussion with Nanfu Wang, who directed and produced the film.
In her searing Oscar-shortlisted HBO Documentary “In the Same Breath”, award-winning filmmaker Nanfu Wang challenges both the Chinese and U.S. governments' initial responses to the pandemic. As she did in her previous film, the devastating “One Child Nation”, Nanfu relentlessly questions government authority and gives voice to those who insist on telling the truth, even at the risk of heavy personal cost. Ken sat down with Nanfu to talk about this incredibly powerful film, which combines reporting, internet sleuthing and compelling personal narratives to re-examine the critical early period of the pandemic. What if we could roll back the clock and have a “re-do” on the first days and weeks of the pandemic? What if the Chinese government hadn't silenced those who called attention to the first Covid cases? How did incorrect information from some in the U.S. government do us harm? As someone who grew up in China and now calls the U.S. home, Nanfu has an insightful perspective on both countries. Not only does she insist on asking the hard questions, but manages to show us the possibilities for a better world. “In the Same Breath” is now streaming on HBO Max. Hidden Gem: Black Sun
In her new documentary In the Same Breath, director Nanfu Wang recounts the origin and spread of the novel coronavirus from the earliest days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. In a deeply personal approach, Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, explores the parallel campaigns of misinformation waged by leadership and the devastating impact on citizens of both countries. Emotional first-hand accounts and startling, on-the-ground footage weave a revelatory picture of cover-ups and misinformation while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the health-care workers, activists and family members who risked everything to communicate the truth.

Many recent films have sought to document and explore our current global pandemic, both through fiction and real life events. The 2021 documentary 'In The Same Breath' takes us back to the very beginning of the outbreak, in Wuhan, China. Director Nanfu Wang, known for her 2019 documentary 'One Child Nation,' returns with another deeply personal take, this time bridging her background in China and her current residency in the United States, where she is based. The film looks at the misinformation and coverups around the coronavirus outbreak, while also highlighting those who were, and are still, on the ground, from healthcare workers to distraught family members. Wang joins us to talk the film, which recently made the Oscar's shortlist for Best Documentary Feature.

In the Same Breath is a strikingly original analysis of the early days of the pandemic as it unfolded in China and the United States. Filmmaker Nanfu Wang draws upon multiple sources of footage to study how governments shaped the messaging about coronavirus and how they missed opportunities to limit the virus. Her collaborators include her husband Michael Shade as an editor and Jialing Zhang as one of the producers. Nanfu and Jialing previously appeared on episode #115 to discuss their film One Child Nation about China's extreme efforts to control population growth. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviews Nanfu about the logistical and emotional challenges of navigating China's censorship. She discusses the lessons she learned making her first film Hooligan Sparrow, about a Chinese dissident, that was her first experience with government pressure.

Central to the horror-film feel of Nanfu Wang's new COVID-19 documentary, In the Same Breath, is the eerie, evocative score courtesy of Emmy-nominated composer Nathan Halpern. A prolific scorer of feature films, documentaries, and limited series alike, Halpern has brought his idiosyncratic approach to films as diverse as Chloe Zhao's The Rider, Swallow, and Minding the Gap. His upcoming scores include the Darren Aronofsky-produced thriller Catch the Fair One, and now, he joins us to talk about In the Same Breath, the differences in documentary and narrative film scoring, and more. You can find Nathan Halpern's official website here. In the Same Breath is currently streaming on HBO and HBO Max.

This week, some very tasty leftovers from three filmmakers reflecting on the early, not-so-easy days of their careers. "Star Wars" second unit director Victoria Mahoney, "Little Women" filmmaker Greta Gerwig and Nanfu Wang, director of "One Child Nation" share some of the ups and downs from when they were first starting out.
Award-winning director Nanfu Wang talks to Professor Betsy West about Wang’s Sundance-winning, Oscar-shortlisted documentary One Child Nation.
“One Child Nation,” a documentary about the devastating effects of China's one-child policy, has been nominated for many awards. But director Nanfu Wang says any film buff who has to rely on Chinese media to follow these competitions wouldn't even know her film exists -- it's totally banned in China. Wang tells us about making “One Child Nation,” which started as a personal story and grew into something broader.
Hi everyone! Welcome back for another week of reviews! We’re continuing our Streaming Sundays series with a review of the Amazon Original documentary, ONE CHILD NATION, which was released in theaters earlier this year, and is now exclusively available on Amazon Prime. It’s a strong contender for the award season and offers us a rare opportunity to examine the results of a grand social experiment. We’ll be back next week with a review of the second Scorsese film from Netflix this year, THE IRISHMAN, another great Oscar contender, but one I waited to watch after it was available at home. Because three and a half hours. It’s Sunday, so that also means there’s another Patreon exclusive episode available at patreon.com/onemoviepunch. This week, I decided to re-cut and re-master a series of audio essays and dramas from last year, collectively entitled “Stories from the Fire”. It was one way that helped us process our wildfire evacuation last year, the second time for our family since moving to California.

The documentary follows Nanfu Wang as she examines the history and effect of China’s one child policy after becoming a first-time mother herself. The film examines the reasons, benefits, drawbacks, horrors, and lasting effects of this grand social experiment. No spoilers. However, content warnings for violence against women and children, including some very difficult stories. ONE CHILD NATION deals specifically with the implementation, enforcement, abolishment, and lasting effects of the one child policy in China, which lasted from 1979 through 2015. The policy was enacted after the previous and now current two child policy, with the aim at slowing population growth to prevent starvation and to raise overall standards of living across the country. 36 years later, widespread famine has been avoided and the overall standard of living has been raised across the country, but many sociological experts and political pundits question the link between China’s birth rate policies and the results later. ONE CHILD NATION also seeks to question this correlation, from the perspective of Nanfu Wang, who was a second child born under the one child policy, exempted under one of the many loopholes that allowed roughly half of all families to have a second child. Nanfu Wang has since relocated to the United States, but returns to China to examine this policy from a number of different perspectives, and from her own perspective of being a mother to her first child. As such, ONE CHILD NATION is as much about Nanfu Wang discovering her own history and culture as much as it is about the policy itself, which is part of the reason ONE CHILD NATION is so effective as a documentary. You can’t talk about the one child policy without talking about propaganda. My initial understanding of China’s one child policy was shaped largely by propaganda, in the form of mainstream media reports focused on forced abortions and sterilizations, and babies left in the markets to die, all shocking events that Nanfu Wang verifies and validates within her documentary. And it’s true, the government did send public health crews to communities for sterilizations and abortions, but the number of forced procedures is hard to calculate outside of anecdotal evidence from two different workers Nanfu Wang interviews, particularly when the policy itself had high support among the population. In fact, both workers look back on their efforts with very different points of view. ONE CHILD NATION helps us understand the level of social acceptance of the policy, even from Nanfu Wang’s own family and community, citing the reasons for the policy almost universally. Stories of babies left in markets to die are definitely horrific, but only possible if entire communities walk past, not much different from folks who walk past the homeless in the United States, a situation China was trying to avoid. Or for that matter, the shocking number of “dumpster babies” that happened in the United States by women without access to safe abortion. But attempting to avoid one problem through social policy also lead to a host of other social problems, like sex-selective abortion, birth tourism, and hidden children living on the margins. Each of these negative effects is covered well by Nanfu Wang, with some surprising stories along the way, including one health worker’s self-guided attempt at social redemption. I think the hardest thing for me to reconcile with the one child policy is its basis on some questionable science. Thomas Robert Malthus drove this fear of overpopulation in his 1798 work, “An Essay on the Principle of Population”, which basically says populations grow exponentially while food grows linearly, and when population outgrows food, we arrive at famine. It’s a simple principle that’s easy to communicate, but much more complex to understand. Malthus’ views require modification, given the rise of contraceptive practices, agricultural advancements in food production and distribution, and roughly two hundred years of data challenging that theory. I have no doubt that there is a connection between population and food consumption, but I also know there are other social and political factors that affect that relationship. My one criticism of ONE CHILD NATION is that it doesn’t address this particular underlying idea, at least not directly. Malthusian ideas of overpopulation are also alive and well within so-called Western countries, often argued from positions of extreme privilege at best, and from positions of extreme racism at worst. Most of the concerns with overpopulation today have little to do with food and famine, and more to do with environmental degradation and economic hardship. Each person adds to the carbon footprint of the world through consumption, even if there are technologies to make consumption much cleaner and more efficient. Each person adds to the economic hardship for a family, especially in urban communities divorced from the ability to grow food, a key advantage of large, rural families. I want to close with a generational look at a one child policy. After I saw this film, I spent the next couple of days sorting through it, sometimes in the car with my family on the way to school. My daughter, whose generation faces environmental devastation and perhaps the breakdown of economic systems, supports the idea of a one child policy, from a standpoint of long-term practical survival. ONE CHILD NATION is focused almost exclusively on whether anyone has the right to as many children as they want, which was also the focus of the propaganda in the United States about the policy. But what the film lacks is a focus on the responsibility that comes with bringing children into the world, which is also ignored in the debates about abortion in the United States. It’s also why I support a one-child policy, even if both my daughter and I are vehemently against the way it was implemented in China, while also having no social or moral judgment about multi-child families elsewhere. It’s a complicated issue, more complicated than the initial reasoning for a one child policy in China, but necessary for surviving on a planet with limited resources. ONE CHILD NATION is a personal and social journey into the history and effects of China’s one child policy. Nanfu Wang explores her own upbringing under the policy and her new perspectives as a recent mother, focused mostly on the more horrific effects of the policy, but without diving too deeply into the underlying reasons for the policy. Documentary fans, or anyone curious about the effects of China’s one child policy, should definitely check out this film, but please heed all the content warnings. Rotten Tomatoes: 99% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 85 (MUST SEE) One Movie Punch: 8.7/10 ONE CHILD NATION (2019) is rated R and is currently playing on Amazon Prime.
"One Child Nation" Director Nanfu Wang by Chris O'Falt
Two prize winning documentary makers from Syria and China tell Kim Chakanetsa about using their own lives to explore the issues facing their home countries. Waad al-Kateab has documented her life on camera in war torn Aleppo, Syria. Whilst conflict, death and cruelty raged around her, she fell in love, got married and had a baby daughter. She captures stories of loss, laughter, sacrifice and survival in her film For Sama. A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film won the Golden Eye Documentary Prize in Cannes. Nanfu Wang was born under the one-child policy in China during the 1980s. After moving to the United States and getting pregnant with her first child in 2017, Wang returned to China in an effort to explore the direct effects of the 'population war' on her family and the wider community. The resulting documentary, One Child Nation, won the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary Feature at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. (Image: Waad al-Kateab (L) Credit: Waad al-Kateab. (R) Nanfu Wang.

In "One Child Nation," filmmakers Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang investigate the history of China's policy of restricting families to one child and its untold consequences. They interview people whose lives were affected by forced abortions, sterilizations, human trafficking and families separated by international adoption. — Raphaela Neihausen and Thom Powers For more information, click here to visit the official film web sit.
Nanfu Wang grew up under China’s one-child policy and never questioned it. “You don’t know that it’s something initiated and implemented by the authority,” she tells The New Yorker’s Jiayang Fan. “It’s a normal part of everything. Just like water exists, or air.” But when Wang became pregnant she started to understand the magnitude of the law—and the suffering that it caused. Wang’s documentary, “One Child Nation,” explores the effects of one of the largest social experiments in history. She uncovers stories of confusion and trauma, in Chinese society at large and within her own family. After Wang’s uncle had a daughter, his family forced him to abandon her at a local market so that he and his wife could try for a son. “He stood there, across the street, watching to see if somebody would come and take the baby,” Wang tells Fan. “He wanted to bring her home, but his mom threatened to commit suicide. . . . He felt so torn. There was no right decision.”

The next season of the True/False Podcast doesn't start up for a few more months still, but we thought it was a good time to re-feature an episode from last season. The Edge of Democracy , which screened at this year's festival, is now streaming on Netflix, so we're bringing back our episode with the film's director, Petra Costa. In The Edge of Democracy Costa uses her own personal experiences – her memories, and family history as a lens through which to view Brazil’s recent political turmoil – the impeachment of Dilma Roussef and the election of Jair Bolsonaro. This episode features a conversation from this year’s fest between Costa and Nanfu Wang, who directed One Child Nation, which itself will be in select theaters in August.

As she travels wide-eyed from one city to another, she eventually encounters a charismatic young drifter named Dylan. Fascinated by his rejection of society's rules and unsure of his past, Nanfu follows Dylan with her camera on a journey that spans years, takes her across America, and explores the meaning of freedom.
