Island in Between

Set on the beautiful yet perilous rural islands of Kinmen, a stone's throw away from mainland China, this film sheds light on a unique and lesser-known aspect of East Asian geopolitics. As an essential outpost for Taiwan in its increasingly tense relationship with China, Kinmen is a place where history and contemporary politics intertwine. Its picturesque landscapes bear witness to the remnants of the 1949 Chinese Civil War, offering visitors a glimpse into the past while simultaneously highlighting the fragile peace that exists between these two nations. The movie captures the essence of Kinmen's people, who navigate through their daily lives amidst the ever-present backdrop of geopolitical tensions, creating a story of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
