No Man is an Island

Taiwan’s first documentary about quarantine hotels.

Back when no one knew what a “quarantine hotel” was, a newly established team took on the challenge of becoming a quarantine hotel in March of 2020. Despite the fear and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic, a filmmaker spent a year documenting the quarantine staff’s difficult journey as they tried to ensure that “no man is an island” during the quarantine process, offering an intimate look inside the quarantine rooms as those returning home faced the 14-day quarantine for the first time.
