【Black Bear Forest】 (126 min. 2016)
The story unfolds in ‘the realm of bears” that is the heart of Yushan National Park, Dafen. It is a place abundant in wildlife ecosystems and aboriginal culture. Fascinated with the area, in 1998, one female ecologist started her journey searching for bears while subsequently developing a deep companionship with a Bunun hunter in the midst of this wilderness. Together with copious research, the secret of the Taiwan Black Bear is thus revealed.
