Braving the peak
Documentary
Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range features 138 peaks with altitudes exceeding 3,000m, stretching over 300 km from north to south. KU Ming-cheng and CHOU Ching, two trail runners with very different temperaments and a 30-year age gap, spend three years training and exploring with the aim of traversing the Central Mountain Range on foot. This documentary captures their record-breaking eight-day, 16-hour feat from the very beginning, traversing self-doubt and disagreements, to finally achieving their goal, every step resembling a peak of life marked by unwavering determination.
【Director's words】
Looking at the mountains of Taiwan, I often wonder: "How did this land shape us?"
Taiwan has mountains that are unique to the country. The landscape of the Central Mountains is so majestic and breathtaking that it inspires our will, encourages our courage, and enriches our vision. This is the life mark of Taiwanese people.
When you start to see adventure as a "journey" rather than winning or losing, you will enjoy it~Everything should start with "an adventurous heart". Thank you Gu Mingzheng and Zhou Qing. In the documentary, their will and courage witnessed the tenacious character of Taiwanese people. We grew up in such a tenacious history. Let's walk into the mountains of Taiwan together.
