A few years ago, Chen YihWen began working on a feature documentary film, that has since been released on TV. However, what many do not know is that the director of that documentary, YihWen, had to endure sexual harassment, bullying, and misogyny throughout its production.

YihWen recently made a new documentary short, titled The Boys Club, which has been nominated for the Busan International Short Film Festival. The Boys Club is a story of what she had to go through throughout the production of the feature-length documentary.

YihWen joins us on the show today to discuss the film.
