Curiosità

Invisible Nation is a 2023 American–Taiwanese documentary film, directed and produced by Vanessa Hope. It follows the presidency of Tsai Ing-wen, as she struggles to preserve Taiwan's democracy and handle the geopolitical forces of the United States and China.

Production

Following the completion of All Eyes and Ears, which followed the relationship between the United States and China, Vanessa Hope wanted to make a documentary revolving around Taiwan and was moved to do so after the landmark 2016 Taiwanese presidential election, remarking, "The Taiwanese people deeply inspired me."

Hope and Geralyn Dreyfous, secured initial funding through the Compton Foundation. Vanessa Hope gained access to Tsai Ing-Wen by filling out a proposal through the presidential office, which took six months for a response. Once they responded, Hope pitched the film, with Ing-Wen agreeing to film, and Hope maintaining editorial control of the project.

Principal photography began initially in May 2017, with another round of filming following the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, with Hope living in Taiwan from July 2022 to February 2023, completing post-production on the film.
