An audience of more than 100 people — including long-term Taiwan independence advocate Su Beng (史明) and former vice president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) — responded with laughter and tears during the premiere of The Revolutionist (革命進行式), a documentary on Su.

“My life is full of surprises — I am very surprised actually that people would make a movie about my life,” Su told reporters before the screening.
