Hand in Hand”牽阮的手”USA Premiere in New York
Completed after five years of arduous work by the makers of Let It Be (無米樂, 2005), Hand in Hand《牽阮的手Hand in Hand, 2011》brings you a story of love, faith and pursuit of democracy with both laughter and tears!

Awards winner,《牽阮的手Hand in Hand, 2011》, one of the best Taiwanese documentaries directed by first prize winners of Taiwan International Documentary Film, reveals the country’s past through the lives of an activist couple. Hand in Hand portrayed a series of political events such as the 228 Incident, the Formosa Incident and the lifting of martial law not as hollow dates in history books but as parts of people’s lives, showing the passion, strength and sacrifice that helped to shape Taiwanese society.

What kind of love is this that a 17 year-old girl with a prestigious educational and family background would willingly elope with a young doctor twice her age and risk all that she had? What does it take for this couple to stick together through the ups and downs as they fight fearlessly for Taiwan's democracy, even if it means endless sacrifices? Directors Yen Lan-chuan (顏蘭權) and Juang Yi-tzeng (莊益增), threads together interviews, found footage, animation, archival records and manuscripts to tell of the six-decade relationship between democracy activists Tien Meng-shu (田孟淑) and Tien Chao-ming (田朝明). The directors spent five years on this inspiring story interwoven with Taiwan's path to democracy, will surely bring you an unforgettable journey through the time tunnel of Taiwan's past.

The USA Premiere is presented by Passport to Taiwan and co-sponsored by Formosan Association for Public Affairs Young Professional Group in NY/NJ and AsaininNY. The movie will play three days starting on Dec 19^th, Dec 20^th and Dec 21^st from 6:30pm to 9:00pm at Mulberry Theatre (70 Mulberry St, NY, 10013). “It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Taiwan’s democracy movement and even more important for those who don’t think it affects them!” Quoted from Taipei Times
