Morning Sun(2003)

Morning Sun Synopsis

The film Morning Sun attempts in the space of a two-hour documentary film to create an inner history of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (c.1964-1976). It provides a multi-perspective view of a tumultuous period as seen through the eyes—and reflected in the hearts and minds—of members of the high-school generation that was born around the time of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, and that came of age in the 1960s. Others join them in creating in the film’s conversation about the period and the psycho-emotional topography of high-Maoist China, as well as the enduring legacy of that period.

Morning Sun (2003) is a documentary film directed by Richard Gordon, released on September 24, 2003 with a runtime of 1h 57m. Viewers rate it 6.9 out of 10 across 13 ratings.
