    Show-Faye Gu Akira CHEN 2004 Taiwan Documentary color 57min Chinese Betacam
    The town of Shrgang by Tachia River in Taichoung, an austere Hakka agricultural settlement, suffered the highest percentage of casualties in the 921 Earthquake. The day after the earthquake, a group of enthusiastic young men, willing to help rebuild this small town came, and have stayed ever since that day for 4 years.
    What difficulties have they experienced while working on reconstruction, and how did they conquer them? What relations did they build with the natives, and how did they help the indigenous people to recover from their latent sorrow? The documentary "Home" presents the story of this land.
