Editor's Note:
For over 400 years, Taiwan has suffered at the hands of multiple colonial powers, but it has now entered the decade when its independence will be won or lost.

Forbidden Nation tells the dramatic story of the island, its people, and what brought them to this moment when their future will be decided.
