Scottish photographer John Thomson's trip to Taiwan in 1871 left an important mark in the history. This film reinterprets the event via a photo of a hunter, taking the audience to the Siraya tribe to meet Wan, a tribe elder who knows how to sing and talk. Through his intriguing words and songs, Wan leads us back to the past as he plucks the strings.

This film is not currently online :(

But no worries. There are more just like it in our new programme.
