Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Seediq belief in the 'hakaw utux' (Rainbow Bridge) requires headhunting to cross—making this film's violence spiritually loaded, not just political.
Wei Te-sheng spent 12 years trying to make this, mortgaged his house twice, and used only 11 professional actors among 1500 extras—mostly actual Seediq descendants.
