Rip the Evil Out of Orchid Island

Synopsis

In 1982, TaiPower, a major industrial firm, decided to use Orchid Island as a dumping ground for nuclear waste. In 1987, the Dawus decided to protest formally against the dumping of nuclear waste on their beloved island. In 1988, the infamous 220 action to ‘rip the evil out of Orchid Island’ took place. It was a historic moment marking the first time the Dawus demonstrated against the nuclear waste. It has been 15 years since the documentary was made, but the evil spirit still invades this beautiful island.
