Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The 2007 film by Huang Shu-mei traces the arduous process that residents of Qingshui Village in Nantou County, Taiwan had to go through to rebuild their homes on a new site after the 7.3-magnitude earthquake that rocked the island in September, 1999. For the displaced villagers, the struggle to build new homes turned into a seven-year odyssey. “Formosa Dream, Disrupted” chronicles the villagers’ despair and anger, and the interaction both within the grassroots community and between it and the architects, experts and journalists helping with the project. The institutional factors that delayed the day they could finally move into their new houses are also documented.
