And Miles to Go Before I Sleep
Cinematography
Nguyen was reported for a car theft and ended up being shot nine times by police officer Chen Chung-wen. Nguyen bled to death on the way to the hospital. The public supported Chen's use of firearms against the runaway migrant who resisted arrest. Were the nine shots the only cause of Nguyen's death? When the perpetrator isn't necessarily the true perpetrator, is the imperfect victim the one to blame?
A Holy Family

The Shepherds
Director
Despite harsh condemnation and denunciation from society, a heterosexual female pastor founded Taiwan's first LGBT-affirming church in May 1996. For LGBT Christians, who had been rejected by the Christian community for a long time, they finally have a church that offers them a safe haven. Though the founder has passed away, the church members continue to make their voice heard, confronting the unjust social institutions while struggling with religious conflict at the same time. Come hell or high water, they strive to make a difference in the lives of others by telling their own life stories, in hope that love will eventually trump hate and solve misunderstanding someday.
