BLACK TIDE ISLAND

These political prisoners are imprisoned on the island. Keeping hope alive is the only faith that they have.

In 1950, as the Korean War broke out, the clash between democracy and communism intensified, shaking the international landscape. In Taiwan, the top 1% of elites were drawn to Bonfire Island by the tides of the era. In this world of spiritual and material deprivation, everyone sought reasons to survive. Several individuals on the island brought medical care, education, agriculture, engineering, and art to Bonfire Island, forging bonds that grew even stronger than familial ties.
