2003年SARS在臺灣爆發,對於疫情不了解以及醫療防疫體系不夠完善,政府用極端手端將患者、患者家屬、醫護人員關在和平醫院中,在當時對面對未知病情時,我認為應該傾盡所有資源去了解疫情,先用隔離來對和平醫院進行處理,而非強制性封鎖,使院內變成絕望與恐懼的地獄,對人權的侵害、當下身心靈崩潰、事後內心創傷,院內上吊自殺的人,說明了該決策的不妥,當時決定參雜許多政治、權力因素,臺灣人民須謹記歷史上的傷口,永遠不重蹈覆轍。
SARS爆發時我仍是個嬰兒,長大後只耳聞和平醫院曾經封院,卻不知道當年的狀況如此令人受傷。看著被稱為抗疫英雄的醫療人員說出「比起英雄更願意當有戰備的鬥士」、看著他們義憤填膺或潸然淚下,不禁眼眶泛淚,完全理解人類面對未知產生的恐懼,不敢相信他們真實地有過那樣的經歷,甚至有人因此失去性命。面對新型未知病毒,相信人心皆惶惶不安,如此一來更需要照顧到在第一線的醫療人員以及病患、病患家屬,而不是為了杜絕傳播、犧牲第一線同樣是人的基本權益。

In December 2019, a large-scale outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China. Within just a few months, the virus rapidly spread across the globe, with the number of infections and deaths climbing relentlessly. As of today, over 150 million people worldwide have been infected, and more than 3.3 million lives have been lost. How did this pandemic begin? And more importantly—can humanity learn from it to prevent history from repeating itself?

Is justice truly equal for all before the law? Like a queen’s chastity once deemed unquestionable, what happens when rigid systems confront the complexity of human nature and circumstance? Who ultimately defines fairness and justice? A wrongful conviction that dragged on for two decades, a protest movement that pitted flesh and blood against authoritarian rule, a death row inmate executed to the cheers of the public—what role did the “law” play in each of these cases? Should we rise up to question the banality of evil, or quietly submit to it? “Judiciary Class” is a name adapted from the popular Korean series Itaewon Class, drawing on the dual meaning of “classroom” and “course.” It symbolizes a shared space for audiences to learn and grow through the films and writings featured in this program—inviting thoughtful debate, diverse perspectives, and deeper exploration of legal and ethical ideas.

What is Taiwan? What does Taiwan hold? The answer depends on how we understand its transformations. Giloo presents a curated selection of ten documentaries tracing Taiwan’s political evolution—offering multifaceted, in-depth perspectives on the island’s past and present. Through these films, we witness the struggles and resilience of the Taiwanese people, uncover the richness of the land, confront long-standing issues, and face the challenges that continue to shape Taiwan’s identity today.
This curated film list centers around the Time Travel Taiwan Series, featuring 13 Taiwanese documentary filmmakers who reinterpret officially archived footage through creative reimagining. By transforming historical images into new narratives, they breathe fresh life into decades past. Audiences are invited to step into a time tunnel — to explore Taiwan’s historical landscapes and witness the sparks ignited by cross-generational dialogue through these experimental visual works.
