Abstract

The video recording activities that insisted on realism returned to the stage of documentary after the martial law was abolished in Taiwan in 1980s. The social theme documentary reopened the window for the Taiwanese to understand social reality. These works present strong problem awareness and humane care, involving in the social public issues to a large extent, moreover, with the intense critical spirit and activism style demonstrated in the video. The appearance and spreading of such social theme documentary play an important role in holding together the publicity of social space.
