Manjhou Ladies

About this title

In Taiwan's southernmost Manzhou Township, a group of local women—ordinary homemakers—transform into acclaimed folk artists when they pick up their moon guitars. The documentary Manzhou Ladies chronicles their lives, led by folk treasure Zhang Rigui, depicting their resilience in preserving local ballads across decades. Now, as young apprentices struggle with language and cultural gaps, the future of these timeless tunes hangs in the balance.
