The Secret Satchel

A successful example of how different styles can be interwoven to bring personal and traumatic testimony to life. Three unidentified Taiwanese film students volunteer to tell their stories, revealing initimate details of their lives, which have in many ways transgressed cultural codes. The result is an emotionally engaging film -- executed with superb pace, rhythm and tone -- that reveals much about Taiwanese culture.

Does their anonymity make this process easier, less risky or is it simply their need to share traumatic experiences?
