This landmark dance film presents *Portrait of the Families*, a defining work by Lin Hwai-min and Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, directed for screen by Chang Chao-Tang. *Portrait of the Families* is a mournful elegy for loss. Dancers move amid projections of nearly 200 historical Taiwanese photographs collected by Chang Chao-Tang and the voices of oral histories, evoking the deep scars and pain left by the 228 Incident and the White Terror. This film captures the original staging from the work’s 1997 premiere.
