What is independence?

Many associate independence with the self, but Amanda Wong believes the opposite. Amanda introduces us to Rosa’s Flowers, a story of healing and reconciliation set against modern Canada and Indonesia past. Join TAIWANfest’s conversation with Amanda, as we explore their production process within their new film. As a woman pioneering diversity within storytelling, how does Amanda’s identity as a queer Asian reflect in the work and industry as a whole? How does Indonesian culture specifically play a role in the film, and their life? Through Amanda’s personal experiences and creative process, we begin to understand how Independence requires community.
