Invisible Nation

Where do I start?

Taiwan is the most important semiconductor exporting country in the world. Taiwan is not Thailand. Taiwan is not part of China.

Despite not maintaining official political relationships with most of the world, the importance of Taiwan and visibility in recent years just go sky rocketing!

BTW, the CCP-lead China government has never own or rule Taiwan, not even for a minute!

Taiwan has their own 23 million peace-loving people(including many foreigners), a strong military, its own land, constitutions and a thriving democracy. Its hard fought story to its current position deserves to be known by more freedom-loving people in the world. It's always one of the safest and best tourist destinations in Asia.

A highly recommended documentary! Let's Go, Team Taiwan! :)

Taiwan is the most culturally complex island nation in Asia, yet little is understood here about it. Formerly known as Formosa ("beautiful" in Portuguese, the first Europeans to have a presence there), home to numerous indigenous groups long before any outsiders, including Chinese, arrived, Taiwan is like Sicily in the Mediterranean: a large island close to major geopolitical powers, ruled by various foreigners for centuries, yet proudly and insistently their own people, especially, in Taiwan's case, since the end of WWII and the Japanese occupation.

INVISIBLE NATION does the island justice in its portrayal of its president and the peaceful transfer of power after a recent election, and its stalwart resistance to being taken over by the PRC. A must-see for anyone passionate about democracy, freedom, and human rights.

If you want to understand the history of Taiwan and it's struggle with Big Red China, this film would be a good start for you.

The film clearly brings you the political transition in Taiwan from an authoritarian government into a democratic system. It is not easy at all. It takes a lot of people, who sacrifice their lives to let the Taiwanese people to enjoy the freedom now.

By looking at Chinese Communist nailed down Hong Kong democracy in 2017, most of Taiwanese people stand up with free world to fight against possible invasion from China. If we lose Taiwan and it's democracy, free countries such as Japan, South Korea, Philippine, etc. Will be forced to defend their own country, sames as America.

The chips manufacturing including AI in Taiwan will be destroyed or controlled by Communist, which is totally authoritarian region, very corrupted, and have killed many millions of their own people.

This film will give you a better understanding about what the world is happening now. We have to fight against aggressors such as Russia, China, North Korea, etc. Right now.

No it's not a boring documentary about Taiwan's first female President. It's a very enjoyable, thought provoking film on Taiwan's very complicated history and politics. Vanessa Hope did a phenomenal job highlighting the controversial and touchy subject without making this into a political propaganda. The film is factually correct, and well researched. It's also a must see for anyone who needs a reminder how precious and fragile democracy is. The music is very beautiful and poignant too. Hopefully the movie will stream online someday soon but most likely not for a long while. For obvious reasons. No big name platforms will risk making a certain totalitarian powerhouse country uncomfortable. Sad reality.

This carefully crafted documentary by Vanessa Hope is a MUST watch; Informative, and incredibly compelling. Especially helpful to an audience unfamiliar with Taiwan, a case is presented as to WHY Taiwan - and also Ukraine- are so important to democracies around the world. Vanessa Hope had a lot of access to the President, Tsai Ing-wen, and does a great job presenting both the politician and the human being. This film also feels very timely- with the challenges of a female candidate and an energized youth vote fighting to be heard. Wei-San Hsu's score is absolutely beautiful. This film deserves to be on every short list for Documentary Feature awards.
