Synopsis

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 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.
