Beyond

Beyond addresses, in animated form, the history of Taiwan’s White Terror, possibly the darkest period in Taiwan, that started with the declaration of the martial law in 1949 and ended in 1987. The story was inspired by The February 28 Incident art series by Chen Wu-jen, the book Journey through the White Terror, a daughter’s memoir, written by Kang-i Sun Chang, and other personal stories from victims and their families that lived through the political repression under the rule of Kuomintang (KMT), where people were murdered, imprisoned, and tortured if they were perceived as a threat to the government.
