TAIPEI, /PRNewswire/ — TaiwanPlus is honored to announce and share the first-ever online release of «Untold Herstory,» a poignant historical film that sheds light on the experiences of female political prisoners during the White Terror in Taiwan. Exploring courage and themes of resilience and women empowerment, TaiwanPlus’ exclusive release of the film is available from February 28 on the TaiwanPlus website and app.
Directed by Zero Chou, «Untold Herstory» is set during the White Terror period which lasted from 1947 to the late 1980s. This era saw the brutal suppression of dissent, particularly towards individuals suspected of communist sympathies. Countless citizens faced «disappearances,» followed by secret imprisonment and harsh «re-education» in labor camps, often accompanied by torture.
Following Taiwan’s democratization in the late 1990s, narratives from this period have gradually emerged, shedding light on a previously obscured past. However, «Untold Herstory» specifically focuses on a largely forgotten group: the courageous female «thought prisoners» held on Green Island during the 1950s. These women stood up to the regime with remarkable bravery, enduring immense injustice and paying a high price for holding to their beliefs.
