Seediq Bale (Traditional Chinese:賽德克·巴萊, literally: A real Seediq or A real man) is a film project of Taiwanese director Wei Te-Sheng. It seeks to portray the Wushe Incident, a 1930 Seediq uprising led by Mona Rudao against the Japanese when Taiwan was colonized.[1] In 2003 Wei raised NT$ 2 million to shoot a 5-minute demonstration film in order to showcase the story and to garner financial support.[2] Despite the short film's positive critical reception, Wei could not secure enough funding to begin filming. However, due to the popularity of Wei's first full-length film Cape No. 7 in 2008, the director decided to revive Seediq Bale; it is set to begin production in fall 2009 with a USD 10-million budget.[3][4][5]
