Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary Invisible Nation (2023), directed by Vanessa Hope. This documentary offers a unique look into the presidency of Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan’s first female president, and explores the island’s recent developments through moments of leadership, identity, and public life. Filmed over seven years with rare behind-the-scenes access, Invisible Nation presents a thoughtful and artistic perspective on Taiwan’s place in today’s global landscape.
