The internal divide over Taiwan’s future | Witness Documentary

Following tensions between Taiwan and China, 25-year-old Carey Chang joins civil defence classes and starts training with firearms. Like hundreds of young people, Carey is learning skills she believes she needs to defend herself in the event of a Chinese invasion. But Carey’s father, Mr Hu, thinks she is wasting her time. While Carey advocates for Taiwan’s independence, she listens to friends and family who believe Taiwan and China should work towards a path of reunification if both sides want peace. As Carey reflects upon their views, she questions whether she should continue preparing for a day she hopes will never arrive. Divided Straits is a documentary film by Roger Cheng and Julie Zhu.
