  1. THE SILENT TEACHER

    Maso Chen / Asia Pop! / Taiwan / 2017 / Documentary, Drama / 73 mins
    Because of cultural mores pertaining to the afterlife, medical schools in Taiwan don’t receive many cadaver donations. So when wife, mother, and now “silent teacher” Hsu Yu-e leaves her body to science, her death sets off two years of waiting, grief, but above all gratitude between her family and a medical school.
