As democracies around the world struggle with the polycrises of our time, the small island state of Taiwan is proving remarkably resilient. Neither social division nor growing pressure from the authoritarian People’s Republic of China seems to weaken citizens’ belief in their right to participate in shaping their society.
Together with former Digital Minister Audrey Tang, Monika Treut delves into the country’s activist scene, where democracy is more than an institution. Through the engagement of queer and feminist thinkers, the film explores what democracy in practice can mean in an age of advanced technology. A recipe to follow.
