Directed by Wei Shiyu 魏時煜 and Peng Xiaolian 彭小莲, Storm Under the Sun reconstructs the 1950s Anti-Rightist Campaign through survivor testimony and forbidden archives. Stripping away propaganda, it reveals how fear and silence reshaped generations of Chinese intellectuals and artists. As an act of resistance, its power lies in restoring names and voices erased from the national record—a stark reminder that cinema’s role is not just to dream, but to preserve truth where memory fails.
