Considering how fascinating the history and current state of Taiwanese-Chinese politics is, I found this documentary to be strangely light. Still, the personal stories and striking images kept me engaged.Here are my reviews for the other nominees.- The ABCs of Book Banning- The Barber of Little Rock- The Last Repair Shop- Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó

Τα αγροτικά νησιά Κινμέν της Ταϊβάν βρίσκονται μόλις λίγα χιλιόμετρα από τις ακτές της Κίνας. Το Κινμέν προσελκύει τουρίστες για τα απομεινάρια του από τον Κινεζικό Εμφύλιο Πόλεμο του 1949, ενώ αποτελεί την πρώτη γραμμή της Ταϊβάν στην κλιμακούμενη ένταση με την Κίνα.

Provides a personal, topical look at the complex relationship between China and Taiwan. As a witness to decades of political tensions, Kinmen, the "Island in Between", is both a torch of hope and a memoria of pain, connecting two opposite worlds occupied by the same blood. Focusing on his own experience toggling between both sides of the divide, director S. Leo Chiang demonstrates a status quo that's too tangled to unravel, with utmost objectivity.
