2011 Environmental Film Screening of “The Ebb Tide” and “Hsiang-si Liao on the Taiping Road”

As a part of its environmental awareness initiatives, PLES, since its establishment in 2009, has been holding film screening and discussion on environmental issues. Two documentary movies regarding the most significant EIA events in the past two years in Taiwan, “The Ebb Tide” and “Hsiang-si Liao on the Taiping Road”, were screened on Oct. 12, 2011. Two  discussants, Attorney Shun-Kuei Chan and Attorney San-Chia Lin, shared their experiences and opinions with the audience. Both of them have been devoted to environmental litigations in Taiwan and know every well about the EIA system and its relevant events. The film screening brought about deep reflections on the relationship of humans and land as well as the EIA system which has been practiced in Taiwan for nearly 17 years.
