RAPIDS OF TAIWAN

2025 International Co-Production Brazil and Taiwan
Location: Taiwan

Documentary

Taiwan is home to not only its famed hundred mountains but also breathtaking rivers. In 2023, the Taiwanese team led by Waro Hsueh joined forces with Brazilian filmmaker, Lygia, to co-produce "Resurrection Rivers." Both parties are eager to continue drawing attention to water-related issues and have invited Pedro Oliva, a world record holder in ecological conservation, to help promote a new film and series initiative.

Together, we are collaborating with top water sports athletes who share a profound love for aquatic environments. By championing cleaner waters and a deeper connection to our natural world, we hope to inspire a renewed sense of island identity and engage the audience to take care of our heritage. We warmly invite organizations and individuals from all sectors to join this cause and offer tangible support to help protect and preserve our precious water resources.
