imes by police officer Chen Chung-wen during a conflict when he was repo
rted attempting to steal a car by a remote river. Nguyen bled to death o
n the way to the hospital.
The Taiwanese public supported Chen's u
se of firearms against the "runaway migrant" who resisted arrest and had
a record of drug use, but a series of mysteries emerged after the incid
ent. Were the nine shots the only cause of Nguyen's death? When the perp
etrator isn't necessarily the true perpetrator, is the imperfect victim
the one to blame? Through never-before-seen footage and in-depth intervi
ews, this investigative documentary reveals the heart-wrenching and comp
lex realities that 700,000 other migrant workers are facing between Sout
heast Asia and Taiwan.
