Soil Without Land is the winning title for the Special Jury Prize at Taiwan International Documentary Festival – TIDF

The award citation from the jury

We have awarded the Special Jury Prize to an insightful documentary with compelling narratives crafted through the juxtaposed compositions of imagery, sounds, and interviews, the director crosses national and ethnic borders to depict points-of-views of “the other side,” giving voice to the marginalized and the stateless. While rigorous and artistic in construction, the film is generous and gives ample space to the voice and experiences of the central figure, as the portrayal of its Shan protagonist shapes a collective portrait of the repressed youth struggles under the flag of fighting for autonomy.
