In order to commemorate the Republic of China's former President, almost every city in Taiwan has a road named after him. But people have different views on his legacy, making the existence of the "Chung-cheng" roads controversial in the island nation. Driving on the Chung-cheng roads all over Taiwan, we explored and listened to the thoughts of people living on these avenues. More importantly, we collected testimonies in the service of justice of Taiwan's transformational justice path.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
