Sugarcane Army 甘蔗軍






In a tropical grove in the Taiwanese countryside, a group of fighters prepare for spiritual and physical battle against an unknown, unseen enemy.

Sugarcane Army 甘蔗軍 is inspired by an armed uprising in 1915 against the colonial Japanese, when rebel peasant farmers were led by a spirit medium named Yü Ch'ing-fang 余清芳. Armed with primitive weapons, they faced a modern army with guns and cannons. Followers believed that talismans made from calligraphy offered divine protection from blades and bullets.

在台灣鄉村的一片熱帶樹林中,一群戰士準備與未知的、看不見的敵人進行精神和肉體上的戰鬥。

《甘蔗軍》的靈感來自 1915 年反抗日本殖民統治的武裝起義,當時反叛農民在一位名叫餘清芳的靈媒的領導下起義。他們手持原始武器,對抗的是擁有槍枝和大砲的現代軍隊。信徒們相信,用書法製成的護身符能提供人們神聖的保護,使他們免受刀劍和子彈的傷害。
