Da-an and Technology Building MRT on the brown (Muzha/Neihu) line are about a 5-10 min walk from Da-an Park.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in Taiwan, I'd go (and donate) even though I hate crowds and don't much care for the big screen...
ReplyDeleteSaw the film tonight with my wife and a few thousand others in Da'an Park. Pretty good little film, managing to both bring out Radeer's personal strength and surprisingly, humor, with the tragedy of the Uyghur experience since 1949.
ReplyDeleteThe love story at the heart of the title (between Radeer and her husband) is extremely heartfelt and genuine. You can see why personalizing Radeer and her cause is important, but any director would have found the story gold and worked it in.
Two comments: looking at some of the people in the crowd, it was obvious the publicity brought them there. Great. Let 18 year olds in miniskirts see how the Chinese government drags kids their age into jail simple because their mother is accused of something.
Good PR move Ma. Thousands of people who would otherwise have never seen this film or thought about repression in China, have suddenly had their eyes opened.
Second point: boy did the KMT choose the wrong person to wrong. Any doubts that Radeer will drag the Guomingdang into a lawsuit were put to rest watching this woman on camera. You don't get to be a leader in a male dominated Muslim society, and the seventh richest person in China, by being a pushover.
