Two documentaries examining the lives of ordinary people against the backdrop of extraordinary circumstances of warfare and diaspora were screened at the Kwang Hwa Information and Culture Centre from March 12 through 14.


"The Forgotten City (時代廢城),” a cross-Taiwan Strait production by Taiwanese director Gary Shih (史祖德) and Henan native Ning Huo (霍寧), describes the predicament of old veterans and factory workers as their way of life face imminent destruction. The inevitable closure of factories and military dependents' villages to make way for urban reforms parallel their displacement in a post-war Chinese world.
