Set in Chicago and Taiwan in the 1980s, the story follows a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent investigating the murder of a Taiwanese professor at a Midwestern college. The search for the killers takes the agent to Taiwan, where he discovers there is more involved in this murder than he ever anticipated. Although Formosa Betrayed has been regarded as a "pan-green movie," its writers say they did not take sides over the Pan-Blue/Pan-Green political divide. ## Credits - **Producer:** [Will Tiao](https://cinepixo.com/people/will-tiao) - **Director:** [Adam Kane](https://cinepixo.com/people/adam-kane) - **Original Music Composer:** [Jeff Danna](https://cinepixo.com/people/jeff-danna) ## Cast - [John Heard](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-heard) as Tom Braxton - [James Van Der Beek](https://cinepixo.com/people/james-van-der-beek) as Jake Kelly - [Kenneth Tsang](https://cinepixo.com/people/kenneth-tsang) as General Tse - [Wendy Crewson](https://cinepixo.com/people/wendy-crewson) as Susan Kane - [Tzi Ma](https://cinepixo.com/people/tzi-ma) as Kuo - [Leslie Hope](https://cinepixo.com/people/leslie-hope) as Lisa Gilbert - [Will Tiao](https://cinepixo.com/people/will-tiao) as Ming - [Henry Milton Chu](https://cinepixo.com/people/henry-milton-chu) as David Wu - [Kittipong Subthawonpan](https://cinepixo.com/people/kittipong-subthawonpan) as Military Police #2 - [Chelcie Ross](https://cinepixo.com/people/chelcie-ross) as Daltry - [Mintita Wattanakul](https://cinepixo.com/people/mintita-wattanakul) as Maysing - [Nirut Sirijanya](https://cinepixo.com/people/nirut-sirijanya) as Dr. Huang ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
