A new documentary about Taiwan's first female president and her fight for the country's democracy is showing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.
Continuing is "A Different Man" and "Memoir of a Snail" through Nov. 21.
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 restrained 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.
"Invisible Nation" is not rated and is showing through Nov. 21.
