FILM REVIEW: 終戰那一天 The Day the War Ended
They were born Taiwanese, educated as Japanese and experienced World War II as subjects of an empire that was eventually defeated. Under Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) rule, when Japan became the enemy, they mostly kept those memories to themselves.

Of the six men and women interviewed in depth in the film, three have since died, while the others are nearing 100. Their stories are therefore all the more urgent to preserve, offering insight into the choices and sentiments of ordinary people swept up in the forces of history.
