00:00This is a story about Cuba and a young woman named Rosa Maria Paya.

00:18The Cuban people, they are demanding the end of the dictatorship.

00:23In China, I started to wonder how people living under authoritarianism could fight for change.

00:29Our experiences seem to reflect each other.

00:33Rosa is the daughter of the most accomplished democracy advocate in Cuban history.

00:53In spite of the danger, Rosa continued her father's work.

00:58I want a nation which wishes our leaders.

01:01I want a democratic Cuba.

01:03I had followed her from the streets of Havana to rallies and conferences across the world,

01:08to the halls of power in Washington.

01:10Please, listen to Cuban people.

01:13Do not politicize that.

01:16It felt just as easy for me to imagine Cuba and China becoming free

01:20as it was to imagine America sliding into autocracy.

01:25Did you feel discouraged?

01:26I feel the opposite.

01:28If we stop, then they already won.

01:46Sometimes I feel that this fight has been too long.

01:50But as my father said, the night will not be eternal.
