Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale II - Rainbow Bridge

During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the aboriginal Seediq were forced to lose their own culture and give up their faith. Men were subject to harsh labor and kept from traditional hunting; whereas women had to serve the Japanese policemen and their families by doing the household work and giving up their traditional weaving work. Above all, they were forbidden to tattoo their faces. And these tattoos were seen as the Seediq's traditional belief to transform themselves into Seediq Bale ("true humans").
Mona Rudao witnessed the repression by the Japanese over a period of 30 years.
~~ Inspired by the Wushe Incident, occurred in central Taiwan during the Japanese rule.
