Taiwan vs. China – The rocky road to democracy

A documentary featuring Taiwan, exploring its aspiration to establish a democratic independent state despite China’s claim over it as a renegade province. Amidst the increasing aggressiveness of the Chinese government in dealing with Hong Kong, Taiwan sees itself as battling for democracy.

The documentary sheds light on the Sunflower Movement, an upsurge in citizen protest in 2014, which demanded transparency and political participation. It also portrays Audrey Tang, Minister of State for Digital Affairs, who champions policies in which citizens play an active role in political decision-making. Taiwan’s political institutions have been targeted by cyberattacks, and the film reveals how the country fights to overcome these obstacles.
