People of the world, you should not only care about Taiwan because we’re viewed as a "potential flash point for World War III." This is also emphasized by my guest Venessa Hope, director and producer of Invisible Nation, a powerful documentary about Taiwan, featuring Taiwan’s first ever female president, Tsai Ing-wen. This is part 2 of my interview with Vanessa. Make sure to listen to the previous episode if you haven’t.

How did Taiwan get rid of its authoritarian rule led by Chiang Kai-shek, whose regime brought about a 38-year long martial law in Taiwan? How has Taiwan transformed from all of that with the past 4 decades? Invisible Nation is also a documentary with a humorous and human touch to it – it teared me up twice. How Invisible Nation ended is also a strong message to the audience and to the world: Taiwan should have the final say of who we are and what we want. Hit play and let’s get back to it!
