The Film
Taiwan’s first female president, Tsai Ing-wen, centers this portrait of the constantly colonized island, as it struggles to preserve its hard-won democracy, autonomy and freedom from fear of authoritarian aggression. SYNOPSIS
With unprecedented access to Taiwan’s sitting head of state, director Vanessa Hope investigates the election and tenure of Tsai Ing-wen, the first female president of Taiwan. Thorough, incisive and bristling with tension, Invisible Nation is a living account of Tsai’s tightrope walk as she balances the hopes and dreams of her nation between the colossal geopolitical forces of the U.S. and China. Hope’s observational style captures Tsai at work in her country’s vibrant democracy at home, while seeking full international recognition of Taiwan’s right to exist. At a time when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the ever-present threat of authoritarian aggression, Invisible Nation brings punctual focus to the struggle of Taiwan as it fights for autonomy and freedom from fear.

The strength of the movie is in its access (to Tsai and others) and the force of its narrative. Watching it, one is driven to anger and, hopefully, to action. Do not look away, for doing so will truly allow Taiwan to vanish, turning Invisible Nation’s tit

It’s only when you see this outstanding film that you realise how the extraordinary and inspirational transformation of a country under dictatorship over the past decades has been largely absent from the UK news media.
