Transcending Love

Hui-Mei CHEN 2012 Taiwan Documentary color 92min Mandarin DigiBeta
Taiwan's Modern Women's Foundation invited 13 abused women to take on 島 an impossible challenge: climbing mountains across Taiwan. Its purpose is to 女 help the survivors of domestic violence to heal themselves in this adventurous 力 journey, in which these abused women gradually built up trust among them, and started to talk about the experience they can hardly bear. Gradually, the scars were replaced by warm tears shared among them. They carried the weight of their families, children and their lives, and climbed to the peak that is the closest to the sky. They wanted to know whether their flowers of life will blossom on the mountain at the height of 3,886 meters.
