Three female convicts transferred to the New Life Correction Center for communists and traitors on Green Island (formerly known as Bonfire Island) are subjected to unspeakable humiliation and abuse in Zero Chou’s dark drama “Untold Herstory”, that has just had its European premiere at IFFR. The year is 1953, and the White Terror period is in full swing. Many people, most of them students, are being apprehended for innocent offenses such as saying something wrong, reading banned (mainly leftist) books, or for being related or befriended to the ‘enemies of the state’. Some are being reported as spies as a spiteful act of retaliation, and others for refusing men’s advances. Only few can call themselves guilty, if being a communist is still considered a crime.
