‘Invisible Nation’ From Veteran Indie Producer Ted Hope Sells to Abramorama (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAddie Morfoot Contributor Abramorama has acquired North American theatrical rights to Vanessa Hope‘s feature-length documentary “Invisible Nation.” The 85-minute doc investigates the election and tenure of Tsai Ing-wen, the first female president of Taiwan.
The docu follows Tsai as she seeks full international recognition of Taiwan’s right to exist. Hope captured Tsai’s two consecutive terms, during which the president performed a delicate balancing act.
