they stopped for a second pause because it means so much to the community. you'll see a lot of people that you may know a lot of people walking to the oakland community schools have say, oh, that's my uncle. that's my on i know that teacher from back in the and the revolution. a great exhibit about the rank and file panthers. these the folks that are usually looked over there, not usually in the books and not the leaders of the organization, but they really carry the black panther party forward. and so folks often proud to see themselves because the panthers still walking amongst have to see family members or they have to say, hey, that person feb mean the free breakfast program. back in the so it is still a lot of pride when you walk into the museum. that's incredible. and for people who are first timers to the history and what are some particular artifacts or information stories that that they really shouldn't be missing. yeah, i mean, you know, i brought a couple cards, we have a portion of the exhibition where people get to have their own voice to what they see something going about local community school they can to then right what they want, what how impacts them this person said as
8:50 am
someone who grew up in the south and receive free breakfast of the child, it was these memories as something so small. you grant that played a major role in my life. this person said hearing the way these children are nurtured and celebrated makes me want to cry. i see the thriving in these photos learning about the ways the staff community, parents and students all collaborated on the children's growth and development as an educator and someone who has victimized by public school system. this exhibit is incredibly heartwarming. and one more is i can feel the love that inspired this. i can feel the love that inspired. that's what people are going through at this scene. is artifacts nuggets from the life and the newspaper or maybe it's the work sure you used to sit in. maybe it's a the yearbooks community school plenty of artifacts look through. but what is this is that this is a community museum. so it's an exchange. people go witness what the black panther party did and they have a chance to reflect

9:18 am
really fascinating point of geography of people were to look it up on a map because it is considered part of taiwan. and yet it is very, very close to china. yeah, i mean of a piece of the news that the old archival news that we found from the u.s. i actually compares the cayman islands to west you know, i think both are remnants of cold war that is, you know, with that, obviously that germany has resolved and reunified, but taiwan and china still in this stalemate not knowing where the future is for for the situation. and we are playing parts of the film right now people and people at home are watching this. >> it really, again, just beautifully shot. beautifully told such an interesting a subject matter that you're choosing to explore here. what inspired you to want to look into this subject? >> but, you know, i i was born and raised in taiwan. and when i moved to the u.s. a move to san jose and actually good 3
9:19 am
decades in the and i always wanted to tell how many stories for the international audience for the last 7 years or so. i've been in taiwan and i feel like, you know, as we were chatting earlier, there's more and attention paid to taiwan and they're more and more taiwanese. and i asked by who are embracing are taiwanese identity. i felt like this was the perfect time to sheriff something like this. and to really introduce the complexity of the situation to their national audience and walk us through your creative process as well. so i actually want to just 2 chauvin with the locals in cayman island, interacting with each other and kind of getting to know that different parts of the but at some point, the team and i decided that i should be in the film because in my, you kind of unique being somebody who is from taiwan. but now also, you know, has an american
9:20 am
passport. all right. and also spent a lot of time in china working we thought that my perspective will offer a really interesting view at this sort of, you know what i say the film is kind of a dysfunctional try and go to triangular relationship of these 3 countries have yes. and what is the message that you hope that people will take away from your film after they're finished watching it? >> i feel like increasingly the world is becoming more tribal. people are picking i want kind of challenge and push people to really see the gray, you know, in between like us and them to really be more empathetic about experiences that are different from from your own to really understand that human beings are not simple. you know, binary. yes, not exactly a so. so, you know, i i feel like if we can really think more that way, maybe the world will be a more peaceful place. and i while i want to make sure we get this out here, but people can actually stream.

9:22 am
ourselves as chinese americans because that's how i was brought but i feel like, you know, there's just much more awareness of taiwan. i mean, we didn't really have tony's restaurant when when i was first moving to the bay area ryann. but now, you know, i mean, york times doing. >> 36 hours in taipei, you know, there's lot to write ups about taiwanese food, you know, taiwanese culture. we have tv series now specifically identify the characters as taiwanese american. none of this was happening 15, 20 years ago. so i would like to think that i was having its moment and actually think it's really important for the world to pay more attention to i won because i think if we're watching the situation closely, nothing bad will happen. all right. yes, walk us in our distant 10 seconds here. just some of the other projects that you're working i'm actually doing another taiwanese project. it's actually a first person from about my immigration experience to the u.s.. >> okay. so we'll stay tuned
