Personal maybe, but uninteresting

Something we're always reminded of when writing is that just because something is based on reality, doesn't make it interesting. What we have here in this documentary short film "Island in Between" by S. Leo Chiang, is a recounting of his experiences in Taiwan and the mainland, the stories of his family, and of the people living in the island of Kinmen. The movie isn't really all that insightful and doesn't offer anything that we might find particularly interesting. That is not to discount the lives and experiences of those whose stories are being told, but a blandly made documentary is just not enough to tell an effective story.
