Kezailiao is a small fishing village in southern Taiwan. The depleted fish catch and the destroyed coastline drive its young residents to move to cities. In order to revive tourism and attract the young generation, the locals decide to organize a music festival called “Oyster Little Rock”. They tried to propose the project to the government but were turned down. A group of local residents decide to carry it out without any support from government authorities or private enterprises. From raising fund, inviting the bands, and promoting the festival, they do everything by themselves. They show their efforts and solidarity with "Oyster Little Rock” that not only makes a huge success but also plays a role model for Taiwanese independent rock music festivals. Small Oyster Little Rock in Kezailiao documents the 2nd Oyster Little Rock, from festival planning to its execution. It also shows the passion and memories of local residents and young generation for their hometown.
