:How Deep Is the Ocean

Taiwan, 2000, 60 min

Lan-yu is a very small island near Taiwan inhabited by the indigenous Tao tribe. The filmmaker is a sound recordist and has known the middle-age indigenous protagonist Mamuno for a long time. Mamuno was forced to leave his hometown and beloved ocean when he was young. After decades, he finally returned to the island where he belongs after suffering from stroke. As experienced by many other indigenous people, life is a struggle, and so is destiny.
