Light of the Setting Sun is a patient inquiry and unfolding of filmmaker Vicky Du’s family’s history. Using archival, first-person voiceover, and intimate interviews with family members, Du pieces together her family’s war-torn past across three generations and three countries: China, Taiwan, and the United States. What results is an honest, empathetic and nuanced portrait of the costs of survival of a post-war, diaspora family.
