62 Years and 6500 Miles Between

Struck by the difference between the political apathy of American youth and the exhilarating momentum of Taiwan’s social and political movements, the filmmaker navigates cultural, geographical and linguistic distances in search of wisdom and hope from her 100 year-old Taiwanese activist grandmother.

The filmmaker interviews her grandmother and people her knew her, just before her grandmother enters a full-care facility. The film explores the filmmaker’s discovery of her grandmother’s political sensibilities. As the film progresses, we hear history being told from various perspectives.
