「政治需要一道彩虹的力量」
全球唯一的LGBT政黨在菲律賓，Ladlad黨想藉由從政為在地LGBT族群發聲，於2010年落敗後，他們企圖在2013年捲土重來，其中一位參選代表是跨性別女候選人班姆姿，繼上回競選失利後，她重新思考策略以獲得更多民眾支持，協同充滿熱忱與鬥志的競選團隊踏遍全國各大都市和小鎮，並與基督教牧師候選人抗衡，但為了贏得選舉而作出的政策讓步，真的能令他們入主國會嗎？
台裔美籍導演江松長和美國導演強尼賽門斯共同聚焦於菲律賓的Ladlad黨歷經三年的競選過程，他們認為在同性婚姻和領養權於西歐及北美合法化的現今，還有許多地區仍存在對LGBT族群的政治壓迫、仇視與暴力，菲律賓境內的同志早已廣被接納，卻仍受到傳統與宗教的反對，本片展現當地LGBT族群的自我認同與爭取平權。

I was born in Taiwan, grew up in the United States, worked extensively in China and now live in Taipei. This mix of experiences has given me a front-row seat to the complex, decades-long dance between these nations. Lately, the world is paying considerably more attention to my homeland, especially after the former U.S. House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, visited in August 2022.

Kinmen, also known as Quemoy, is a group of islands governed by Taiwan that were the front lines of the first and second Taiwan Straits Crises decades ago. They lie just a few miles from mainland China, and these days, locals are unsure what escalating tensions mean for the future.

Taiwanese voices are often drowned out by Chinese and American narratives, overshadowed by the global power plays going on around us. Few people outside the region understand what life is actually like for the Taiwanese people caught in between two superpowers. I made this documentary to show life in Taiwan through the eyes of the people who live there, including me.

At this moment, as we struggle to make sense of the horrors of war, I hope this documentary can play a small part in advocating for peace.
