Towards Freedom: The Price of Democracy (N/C 12+)
Cinema 1 Summerhall, EdinburghThe depiction of Taiwanese democratization usually focus on the elites but pay no attention to the little individuals among the activists. The director (a confused twenty-something) looks back upon the 40-year-history of democratization of Taiwan through the life experiences of two ‘old-timers’ who are grass-root rebels. He attempts to discover what motivated their actions what effected their decisions, and what their limitations are. Part of Hong Kong Film Festival 2022.
