The Courageous Sisters
2025•19m•Released
Documentary
Since 1995, the TransAsia Sisters Association has been a pioneering force in supporting immigrant women in Taiwan, especially marriage migrants. What began as a small literacy class has grown into a vibrant community that empowers women to organise, speak out, and advocate for their rights. The film explores the struggles of belonging, the strength of sisterhood, and the quiet power of everyday resistance. From street protests to storytelling through food and culture, the Sisters continue to reshape the narrative of migration—one voice at a time.
