Thorough, incisive and bristling with tension, <em>Invisible Nation<\/em> is a living account of Tsai\u2019s tightrope walk as she balances the hopes and dreams of her nation between the colossal geopolitical forces of the U.S. and China. Hope\u2019s restrained observational style captures Tsai at work in her country\u2019s vibrant democracy at home, while seeking full international recognition of Taiwan\u2019s right to exist. At a time when Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the ever-present threat of authoritarian aggression, <em>Invisible Nation<\/em> brings punctual focus to the struggle of Taiwan as it fights for autonomy and freedom from fear.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Producer: Sylvia Feng, Vanessa Hope, Ted Hope, Cassandra Jabola, Ivan Orlic, Patrick Pfupajena<\/li>\n<li>Cinematographers: Laura Hudock<\/li>\n<li>Editors: Ku A-Ming, Dave Henry, Siuloku O, Justice Yong<\/li>\n<li>Music: Wei-San Hsu<\/li>\n<li>Filmography: All Eyes and Ears (2016)<\/li>\n<li>Language: English, Chinese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Vanessa Hope, Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vanessa Hope is an award-winning producer and director.
