Viewing Notes

Third short film in the Oscar-Nominated Documentary Shorts package. Very interesting look at this Taiwan island that sits nexts to China mainland and the problems it ensures bc of its proximity. Nothing biting or controversial is presented but the viewer can infer how tense this situation is for the residents.

Cool short about something I had no previous knowledge about.
