HBO Documentary Films presents A Little Horse Crossing the River and Hard Working Movies Production in association with NiKa Media and Secret Sauce Media

Filmmaker Nanfu Wang documents Cuban activist Rosa María Payá’s fight for democracy after her father’s state-sponsored killing echoes struggles in both Cuba and China. Through intimate footage and personal experiences of surveillance, exile, and political awakening, the film becomes a powerful exploration of global resistance, the fragility of democracy, and the shared human pursuit of freedom.
