In this episode, we talk with award-winning filmmaker Vanessa Hope who shines an urgent spotlight on Taiwan as it fights for autonomy and freedom from fear in the gripping new documentary, Invisible Nation.
It tells the story of how Taiwan’s first female President, Tsai Ing-wen delicately balanced on the tightrope between the hopes and dreams of her nation and the colossal geopolitical forces of the US and China. The movie interweaves highlights from her time in office with Taiwan’s history and struggle to preserve its hard won democracy.
Invisible Nation premiered in Ireland at the 36th Galway Film Fleadh in July, and we went along to see the movie and talk with Director, Vanessa Hope.
