Synopsis
Eighty years ago, Seediq people living in the mountains of Taiwan organised an uprising against the Japanese colonial rulers, and the rebellion was known as the "Wushe Incident". In Pusu Qhuni, the descendants of the Wushe survivors talk about the history from their point of view and lead us to the places where the tragedies took place.

Director Statement
The Seediq people had lived independently until various forces came in. Bearing the unspeakable agonies for nearly a century, Pusu-Qhuni stands along amongst the mountains and remains silent as usual. This reminds me of a poem by Jelaluddin Rumi, a Sufism poet from the 13th century. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense". This may be the end of the film, Pusu Qhuni, but it's a new beginning of the Seediqs.
