Formosa Betrayed team with TaiwaneseAmerican.org

Ho Chie Tsai, creator of TaiwaneseAmerican.org, chats with a few of the actors and production team behind the upcoming movie, Formosa Betrayed at the San Francisco / Bay Area's 2010 annual Lunar New Year celebration.

Revolving around the theme, "Projecting Our Presence," the event was hosted by TaiwaneseAmerican.org and the 2nd generation organizations in the area including TAP-SF, TACL-LYF, FAPA-YPG, TJCC, Young TAITA, NATEA 2, NATMA 2G, and NATWA II.

Formosa Betrayed is a political action thriller set during the martial law era of 1980's Taiwan, and follows the investigation of the murder of a Taiwanese American professor as seen through the eyes of an FBI detective (played by James Van Der Beek of Dawson's Creek). As events unfold, the gut-wrenching story of Taiwan's movement toward democracy is revealed.

The movie opens on the weekend of Feb 26-28 in major cities nationwide. With your word-of-mouth support and strong showing at theaters, we believe this movie can find even wider distribution!

I saw this film late last summer in New York at the pre-screening. It is very riveting. Being a white American born into a Democratic system, I can't understand the corruption that still occurs in Taiwan regarding the Chinese government. It is unacceptable from a human being standpoint. On a brighter note, Tzi Ma was very funny afterward in the Q and A.

@Marksad14 Glad you went to see the movie. The story of Taiwan has been one neglected by the world for too long. The comment above yours is a prime example of the kind of arrogance and prejudice toward the Taiwanese that still exists today.

Wow! I was very intrigued with this film. My Mandarin (language) teacher that's a Taiwanese native showed this film to us. When I spoke of this to another acquaintance that's Taiwanese, her face lit up. This story, for it or how it is known within circles has been a warm welcome of encouragement for others (American and non) to go see. Hopefully there will be other like movies about this sort of thing (untold stories) to come in the future. Interesting to see that it was really shot in Bangkok.
