In this powerful documentary, Mama Yang, an 84-year-old woman living in New York, finds herself in correspondence with 45 high security prison inmates she views as her own children. Most are Chinese American immigrants, and see in Mama Yang a mother figure they never knew before they stepped through prison walls.
For Mama Yang though, the story is about more than Christian charity. She had already lived a full life in Taiwan when her husband died at age sixty and her son lost their house in a financial blunder. She moved to the US to start anew and lives with a Taiwanese American granddaughter that remains distant. In a film marked by family separations, Mama Yang writes letters – whether to the incarcerated or to her own granddaughter – to heal lifetimes of wounds.
九把刀首次監製的電影,与演员隋棠兼任出品人。
一個叫Raye的女新導演拍的一部推廣「以領養代替購買」的精神,去幫助處境可憐的流浪狗的影片。
之所以這支影片叫「十二夜」,是因為在台湾每一隻狗被捕捉進收容所後,法律保障這些狗狗有十二天的時間等待原主人找回、或被新主人領養,過了十二天,就會被安樂死。
很不幸,許多狗狗根本捱不過這十二天,因為在收容所裡極端殘酷的環境根本不允許。
本片記錄了許多狗狗被捕捉到收容所驚慌失措的那一刻,直到他們離開收容所的最後一刻……不管是以什麼樣的方式離開。
九把刀:「十二夜」影片救援計畫,渴望,期望,盼望,企望你成為我們的天使!http://www.giddens.tw/blog/post/38756811-%E3%80%8C%E5%8D%81%E4%BA%8C%E5%A4%9C%E3%80%8D%E5%BD%B1%E7%89%87%E6%95%91%E6%8F%B4%E8%A8%88%E7%95%AB%EF%BC%8C%E5%B8%8C%E6%9C%9B%E4%BD%A0%E6%88%90%E7%82%BA%E6%88%91%E5%80%91%E7%9A%84
