1949年,國民政府來台,在各個層面,都讓台灣有了一次巨大的變動;1950年韓戰爆發,美國同時向世界伸出援手,自1951至1965年,每年借貸給台灣一億美元,推行農改與各項民生建設,並共同成立「中國農業復興委員會」,展開了這段影響台灣甚鉅的「美援年代」。
本單元從當時製作的許多影片中挑選出4部政宣影片,主題聚焦居家衛生與農業增產。透過現代眼光回首影片,明白過去如何影響我們的食衣住行,台灣又是如何走過好氣又好笑的荒謬從前。

Reel Taiwan 1951-1965
When the KMT government arrived in Taiwan in 1949, they brought dramatic changes upon Taiwan in every aspect. As the Korean War broke out in 1950, the US government provided many developing countries with aids. From 1951 to 1965, the US government offered the KMT government an annual loan of 100 million US dollars, used to promote the agricultural reform and other policies. The two governments established the Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction together, and what happened in this period had huge impact on Taiwanese society.
In this programme, we rediscovered a batch of propaganda films of that period and divide them into four strands, focusing on household hygiene, increasing the agricultural production and improving the animal industry. Now when we watch these films, we see what a ridiculous, sometimes outrageous and yet funny period our coutry had gone through.
