A feature-length independent documentary that chronicles the grueling reality of Taiwan’s labor movement in the late 1990s. The film captures the raw aftermath of November 15, 1996, when the Dong Yang Textile Factory in Tainan suddenly shut down without warning, laying off 511 assembly-line workers and withholding nearly half of their legally required severance pay and retirement pensions. Director Lo Hsing-chieh follows the affected blue-collar workers as they transform from quiet factory hands into resilient activists. The film documents their self-organized rescue committee, their blockade of the shuttered factory, and their protest marches to Taipei to confront the Council of Labor Affairs. Rather than just capturing a political protest, the documentary provides an intimate look at the internal conflicts, emotional exhaustion, and ultimate personal growth experienced by the working-class individuals on the front lines.
