Benefitting from unprecedented political access, this rare and gripping documentary offers a window into what Taiwan means to the UK and the world.

To understand today's world, we must understand Taiwan. Vanessa Hope's captivating political documentary Invisible Nation shows a side of this nation – and offers insight into international diplomacy – that few of us get to see

With unprecedented access, the film takes us into the office of now former President Tsai Ing-Wen as she strives to position and advance Taiwan as an open, diverse and forward-looking country. It’s a privilege to be invited behind the scenes with Tsai as she confronts her country’s unique challenges and brings hope for a better future; his unwavering calm and composure are inspiring to watch.

The film is a unique and detailed portrait of not only a remarkable world leader, but also the entire nation of people she represents.

But before meeting Tsai in the film, Invisible Nation takes us on a journey through the country's past. It is interesting to remember – or perhaps learn for the first time – the many external forces and events that have shaped and continue to influence Taiwan, and how this influences the complexities of Taiwan's identity today . In this way, the film constitutes a unique and detailed portrait of not only a remarkable world leader, but also the entire nation she represents.

The story of a resilient and determined island nation resonates particularly strongly in the run-up to the next annual meeting of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Commission in Canada later this month, where Member States will commemorate the UK's accession to free trade. alliance and deal with pending requests from Taiwan and China. This upcoming meeting gives us an opportunity to reflect on the power of trade relationships to foster peaceful cooperation and dialogue, as well as the importance of extending the hand of friendship and solidarity to democratic allies.

Joining the CPTPP – one of the world’s largest trading blocs – is a valuable step forward for the UK. While Taiwan and China also compete for acceptance as members, based on their economic readiness and value, Invisible Nation is a key message for all of us about the vital role of defending diplomatic friendships and developing trade alliances in preserving peace and promoting democracy.

Overall Invisible Nation allows Taiwan – its history, its present and its future – to be seen in a new light and provides an opportunity to learn more about Taiwan's remarkable former leader. This rare and urgent documentary offers a window into what Taiwan means to the UK and the world. This is a film that we invite you all to watch.
