Headhunter's Song: The Cry of the Aboriginal People of Taiwan
Documentary
Synopsis
Kao Chin Su-mei, a former actress and now a legislator in the Taiwan Legislative Yuan (the legislative assembly), is from the Tayal tribe, one of the aboriginal peoples of Taiwan. Together with both the Taiwan Aborigine Workgroup, consisting of all the tribes including the Han people, and the aboriginal music group Feijuyuenbao Synectics, she finds the courage to fight for the return of their ancestorsâ souls from Japan. Their appeal is unambiguous: âWe cannot bear it that our ancestorsâ souls are still in Japan. This is because we are not Japanese.â
