Are you curious about Taiwan’s cultural roots and the unique social changes that have shaped its modern identity? Join us for a special screening of Taiwan Undaunted, a compelling documentary that captures the transformation of Taiwanese society over the past few decades.
Taiwan Undaunted: In Search of the Nation that Cannot Call Itself a Nation features interviews with local experts, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, offering insight into how Taiwan has evolved in areas such as daily life, environmental awareness, Indigenous rights, and shifting work and lifestyle patterns. It also touches on broader societal dynamics, including how external influences and internal challenges have shaped how people live and think in contemporary Taiwan (Directed by Neal E Robbins and produced by Carl Homer. 2023. Taiwan/UK. 105 minutes. Distributed by TaiwanPlus).
To enrich the experience, we’ll be offering a selection of Taiwanese snacks and beverages, including the famous bubble milk tea (珍珠奶茶)! We’ll begin with a short introduction to the snacks and their cultural meanings, and after the screening, feel free to stay for an open discussion session to share your thoughts.
✍️ Registration is required, to help us plan food and seating.
✨ Quantities are limited, bubble milk tea will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to arrive on time to enjoy a taste of Taiwan.
Come watch, taste, and discuss — this is a great opportunity for anyone interested in Taiwan to explore its story through both film and flavor.
