Director Statement
Through the documentary 2, 1, I was transported back to Taiwan in 1999—a time when being LGBTQ+ still meant facing widespread societal prejudice. Yet even in those restrictive times, some chose to live bravely and authentically, expressing their true selves. Having lived through that era, this film resonates with me deeply. It’s a powerful reminder that the freedom we enjoy today didn’t come easily—it was earned through years of courage and quiet resistance. And for that, I cherish the present even more.
