Plot Summary
The film documents the harrowing experiences of 16 survivors of Taiwan's White Terror period. Using a minimalist aesthetic, the documentary features the victims speaking directly to the camera against a stark black background, interspersed with rare historical photographs and archival documents.Without any added narration, the film allows the survivors to piece together a collective memory of state oppression. They recount their personal nightmares of being arrested on fabricated charges, undergoing brutal interrogations and torture, facing unjust military trials, and enduring years of forced labor and ideological re-education on Green Island. It serves as a powerful oral history, capturing not only their past suffering but also their resilience, solidarity, and the difficult journey of returning home.
