German director Treut's documentary 'Cooking Up Democracy' premiered at a Polish film festival. Narrated by former Digital Minister Audrey Tang, it highlights Taiwan's democratic resilience and diverse society. Treut contrasted democratic fatigue in Western nations with Taiwan's energetic civic engagement. Noting Taiwan's strong democratic momentum despite global political isolation, she urged the Taiwanese people to be extremely proud of their achievements and resilience. The film is scheduled to be released in Taiwan this September.
