Social Movements in Taiwan

Social Movements in Taiwan

6 films

The struggle is far from over—Taiwan still needs a revolution. From the tangwai movement during the late Martial Law era to more recent protests like the Sunflower Movement and opposition to the Sixth Naphtha Cracker Plant, Taiwan’s people have repeatedly challenged authority. Through collective action, they’ve reshaped public policy and redefined the island’s political landscape. Giloo presents a curated selection of documentaries on Taiwan’s social movements—capturing the pivotal moments, the key players, and the tensions that shaped them. As we revisit these movements through film, we ask: After all that Taiwan has experienced, how many issues still call on us to stand up and take action?
