主題概念


Theme Concept

faloco’,是阿美語「心」的意思。原住民在台灣人口僅佔不到3%,卻有近半數的職棒球員為原住民。但現實是平均職涯不到五年,球員汰換率高,能成為明星球員的屈指可數。還有更多原住民,曾用盡全力追尋棒球夢,卻一無所獲。但為什麼一個又一個世代,持續把夢想投注在棒球運動上? 本片預計從「原住民打職棒」的現象出發,觀眾將看到兩個不同世代的棒球員,對棒球夢的解讀,以及在棒球運動上的獲得。在這段跨越時空,追尋棒球夢方向的旅程,也追尋原住民在主流運動職棒裡自我價值的實踐。


"faloco'," means "heart" in Amis language. Indigenous people make up less than 3% of Taiwan's population, yet nearly half of the professional baseball players are indigenous. However, the reality is that the average career lasts less than five years, and the player turnover rate is high. Only a few can become star players. Many more indigenous people have dedicated their all to pursuing their baseball dreams, only to come up empty-handed. But why do generation after generation continue to invest their dreams in baseball? This film aims to explore the phenomenon of "indigenous people playing professional baseball." Audiences will witness the interpretations of the baseball dream by two different generations of players and their achievements in the sport. Throughout this journey that transcends time and space, we will also seek to uncover the indigenous people's self-worth within the mainstream professional sports, as they pursue their dreams in baseball.
