The Journey of Becoming Truku

Su-Rong Zhang Taiwan 2021 28 min Documentary

"Culture is not about bloodline, but about identity." While public debates rage over hunting rights, Truku hunters quietly return to the mountains, abiding by the wisdom passed down from elders. Hunting is not just an act; it embodies deep cultural roots, ecological philosophy, and the essence of life. Each of us is just a small part of a larger cosmic system — and from these small parts, entire worldviews emerge. Hunting is not savagery, not slaughter — it’s one way of belonging, of going home. Can there still be hunters? The answer lies within each of us.
