FORMOSA BETRAYED - [OFFICIAL TRAILER]

Watch the revised trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBydfA89a7k


From www.formosathemovie.com - Inspired by actual events, FORMOSA BETRAYED is the story of FBI Agent Jake Kelly's (James Van Der Beek) investigation of the brutal murder of a Taiwanese-American professor on U.S. soil. With the help of his partner Tom Braxton (John Heard) and a sharp Chicago police detective (Leslie Hope), Agent Kelly discovers that the murderers have fled to Taiwan.

Agent Kelly is sent overseas to assist the Taiwanese government's search for the killers. Initially guided by an American diplomat (Wendy Crewson) and a Taiwanese official (Tzi Ma), he soon realizes that not only is he an unwelcome guest in a foreign land, but that something more treacherous is happening beneath the surface.

With the help of Ming (Will Tiao), a Taiwanese activist, Agent Kelly discovers the unsettling truth about the island once called Formosa, leading to dangerous and painful consequences. Agent Kelly finds himself on a collision course with the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and ultimately the highest levels of the Republic of China government in Taiwan, where this FBI agent discovers how a complex web of politics, identity, and power affects the lives and destinies of the citizens in all three countries including his own.

The point I was making just because groups of people have similarities in language, religion, music and genetics doesn't automatically justify political union. Just look at Romania and Moldavia as well as Scotland and Ireland. Anyway I can understand why many people in Taiwan get irritated by Chinese in P.R.C. It is the condescending and patronising attitude that many P.R.C nationals exercise towards the Taiwanese whereby they think they know what the Taiwanewse want.

Those of us who are movie fans get excited every time a new film is shot here in Taiwan :-)

@julian101383 I loved this movie but was disappointed a bit to see that it was not filmed in Taiwan but rather in Thailand, Chicago, and LA.
