Untold Herstory tells a story of three female political prisoners at the concentration camps on Green Island—an islet off the east coast of Taiwan—in the 1950s. The film is an adaptation of Bonfire Island: Untold Herstory by Tsao Chin-jung 曹欽榮, a published collection of interviews with female political prisoners from that time. During that period, under the Republic of China government, political parties—apart from the Chinese Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang—were banned and any discussion of democracy or Taiwanese independence led to arrest and detention. The female political prisoners chose to fight for freedom, but were more forcefully suppressed by the authorities. They held on to their beliefs, hoping for true freedom to come.
Light refreshments at 6pm.

Prior to his career in film production, he was a Democratic Progressive Party legislator (2012-2018) and the Director-General of the Government Information Office (2005-2006).
