The Lucky Woman

TSENG Wen-Chen 2020 Taiwan Documentary color 87min DCP
Why do they run away? To make more money or to pursue better job opportunities? Through the accounts of two “runaway” migrant workers, the film shows the highs and lows of their lives. They give up their legal status as migrant workers and take risks to work illegally. By spending their youth in Taiwan, they try to give their family a better life and to change their own fate.
