How Deep is the Ocean

Shooting on 16mm, Tang Hsiang Chu spent two years with Mamuno, a Tao indigenous person, on Orchid Island after Mamuno returned from Taiwan to his homeland. This film documents Mamuno’s reintegration into the community he once left behind when he was pursuing a better life on the mainland. While listening to Mamuno’s journey full of up-and-downs and experiencing the solidarity among the Tao people, the director starts to reflect upon his own ethnic Han background and attempts to find the meaning of his life. Despite their different social backgrounds, the men have a lot in common, including their passion for nature.
