The Taiwanese political drama making waves

from Taiwan Uncovered · host Issy Wells, RTI

Tune in for today's episode of Uncovered where we discuss the new Taiwanese political drama Wave Makers (人選之人—造浪者). The series which centers on the lives of political campaigners in the run-up to a presidential election has been said to spark Taiwan's #MeToo movement and has been reported on by international media including the Washington Post and the Economist. Not only does Wave Makers create a very vivid portrayal of the life-changing impact of sexual abuse, but it also touches on other important modern-day themes - from sexuality and diversity - to balancing work-life balance and generational conflict. Hit play to listen why Sharon and I were big fans, and what we thought of the influential show. Be warned - there may be spoilers!
