Hong Man Zhi made the documentary "Sisters Selling Winter Melon! (姐妹賣冬瓜!)" in 2007, and this is Taiwan’s first documentary produced by new immigrants. The video presents the process of advocating so that more people can understand the hard works made to develop and implement policies related to immigration. The documentary is a historical one.

“In the process of advocating, I once felt scared had thoughts to give up,” Hong says. “However, I become brave now after keeping practicing every time.”
