Radio Mihu

Synopsis

"This is 91.3 FM, the indigenous voice of Mihu Radio. Good morning, I'm Bayas. Turn your dial to this underground station and hear about our tribe's pears and persimmons, and tune into the gossip about stream beds and mudslides…" Bayas's sharp, witty commentary takes us through one aboriginal tribe's village reconstruction after the disasterous earthquake of September 21, 1999 (commonly called 9-2-1). The film shows how village oppositions and conflicts, absurd yet everyday, are just like those of Taiwan itself, in miniature.
