BEYOND THE ANTI-DUPONT MOVEMENT: PORTRAITS OF SOME SOCIAL ACTIVISTS (2K RESTORATION)

The fight against environmental injustice in Taiwan reached a turning point when plans for a massive DuPont chemical plant threatened the wetlands of Changhua. What followed was a 13-month grassroots campaign that united farmers, academics, journalists, and youth in a historic act of resistance. With NT$6.4 billion at stake, this was no small confrontation—but the people prevailed. Through interviews with key figures in Taiwan’s environmental and social justice movements, the film revisits the Anti-DuPont Movement and its legacy, offering a rare insight into the courage, costs, and impact of activism that continues to inspire generations.
1985年，美商杜邦提出在彰濱工業區設廠製造二氧化鈦，政府在兩週內迅速核准，成為當時金額最高的外商投資案。然而杜邦在美國已被要求停止廢水拋海，來台卻仍採相同方式，引發長達13個月的反杜邦運動。最終，杜邦於1987年宣布撤出鹿港，成為台灣環保運動的重要里程碑。本片訪問多位親身參與者，也呈現社運者在家庭與生活中的掙扎與反思。
