Invisible Nation: Connecting Democracies Globally. Democracies flourish when they work together. This event will examine how international relationships—parliamentary alliances, civic networks, and cross-border collaborations—can strengthen democratic practices. Using Taiwan’s partnerships as a focal point, participants will discuss opportunities for deeper connections between legislatures, NGOs, and grassroots movements across continents. Democracies must urgently build their own global alliances of activists, governments, businesses, and citizens, around transparency, accountability, and solidarity. The speakers will be announced soon.
Watch the film in advance (12/3-12/7) and join us for a live panel on 12/7, 7pm ET.
About Invisible Nation: Unprecedented access to Taiwan’s first female president, Tsai Ing-wen, centers this portrait of the constantly colonized island, as it struggles to preserve its hard-won democracy, autonomy, and freedom from fear of authoritarian aggression. Thorough, incisive, and bristling with tension, Invisible Nation is a living account of Tsai’s tightrope walk as she balances the hopes and dreams of her nation between the colossal geopolitical forces of the U.S. and China. Invisible Nation captures Tsai at work in her country’s vibrant democracy, while seeking full international recognition of Taiwan’s right to exist. At a time when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the ever-present threat of authoritarian aggression around the world, Invisible Nation brings a punctual focus to the struggles of Taiwan.
