This project tells the story of an unlikely friendship between the chief of the Bunun clan (Taiwan’s indeginous people) and the Japanese anthropologist Ushinosuke Mori at the beginning of the 20th century, during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. An ethnological investigation in search of traces of the past, Guardians of the Jade Mountain explores the notion of enemy when one is not defined by nationality but seen as an individual with his own origin and background.
