ABOUT

Three farm families, engaged in Taiwan's long summer two-crop rice cycle, compare their lives to those of industrial laborers. Both pride and anger are expressed concerning conditions of a farm life.

Films in the Taiwan series

Faces of Change is comprised of 25 films that examine five cultures selected for their distinct geographic locations: starting with the China Coast at sea level and moving up to Taiwan, then to Afghanistan, Kenya and finally to the mountains of Bolivia. Each location is examined through five themes: Rural Society, Education, Rural Economy, Women, and Beliefs. 

This innovative collection of 16mm films and videos was funded by the National Science Foundation, produced by Norman Miller and directed by some of the finest ethnographic filmmakers of its time.
