Taiwan, 2005, 52 min
Amidst the political upheavals of a nation and the world, the filmmaker navigates through cultural, geographical and linguistic distances in search of wisdom and hope from her 100 year-old Taiwanese activist grandmother. This film specifically examines how a postcolonial people negotiate the memory and translation essential to the reconstruction and ultimately reclamation of personal and national history.
