NANFU WANG is a documentary filmmaker based in New York. Wang is a recipient of Sundance documentary fund, a fellow of Sundance DFP program, and a fellow of IFP lab. Originally from a remote village in China, Wang overcame poverty and lack of access to formal secondary education and went on to earn graduate degrees in communications and documentary film from universities in China and the United States. Her work often features the stories of marginalized or mistreated people, from Chinese blood donors stricken with HIV after being issued used needles by the government to the left-behind children of migrant laborers. During the production of her first full-length documentary, Wang lived on the streets of Miami with a homeless former drug dealer who relied on the kindness of strangers for his survival. Wang’s short films have been distributed on many platforms and translated into several languages, and she continues to seek out and tell the stories of people who have been ignored by their societies. The Road from Hainan is her feature debut. It's supported by Sundance, IFP, IDA, etc.
