The Right Thing
2010, Chinese. Directed by Chiang Wei-hua.
In November, 2008, Chen Yun-lin visited Taiwan, a critical moment in history where the first official Chinese envoy to ever step on Taiwan soil in 60 years. Meanwhile, Taiwan people's freedom of speech and personal liberty were severely suppressed by the state apparatus. Student protesters assembled via internet networking all over the place, to voice their anger at the abuse of their common value. In the course of the struggle, suspicion arises among members of the movement due to ideological differences and distrust. They are engrossed in activism, schoolwork, active citizenship, politics, passion and self-reflection. Here in Taipei, in this square, in their twenties.
