Taipei, Sept. 9 (CNA) A film about female political prisoners held on a volcanic islet off Taiwan's eastern coast during martial law in the 1950s will hit the big screen across the nation on Oct. 28, its producer said Friday.
A crowdfunding campaign was on Thursday launched to help finish a movie about three women incarcerated on Green Island, the first Taiwanese film to address female political prisoners during the Martial Law era.
