Untold Herstory

Three women, imprisoned because of their ideas in Green Island prison in 1953, during the White Terror in Taiwan, choose to fight for freedom. They are repressed with violence by the authorities in charge. They stand up for their beliefs and hope that freedom will triumph. In the camp, when the prisoners think that their act of resistance has succeeded, the most stringent purge descends on them. “What is the sin of thinking ? Why is it a sin to think ? How sad it would be if the day came when I wouldn’t even dare to think ... Their minds are free but their bodies are imprisoned, oppressed and even condemned to death because of their thoughts. Such absurdities are not far away from us... I sincerely hoped that these absurdities were finished and had disappeared for good, but reality has shown that they are still being repeated in other parts of the world. We can do no more than transmit these stories so that we don’t forget. Otherwise, the power of absurdity can come back at any moment.” Zero Chou
