Durante la ocupación japonesa de Taiwán, los Seediq son forzados a abandonar su cultura y su religión. Los hombres son esclavizados en trabajos manuales y las mujeres son empleadas como sirvientas por la clase dirigente. Y sobre todo, se les prohíbe tatuarse la cara, una creencia tradicional que según ellos les convierte en humanos de verdad. Concebida originalmente como un díptico, Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale, fue estrenada en el 68 Festival de Venecia en una versión reducida de dos horas y media de duración. También fue vista en el Festival de Toronto y se estrenó en abril de 2012 en varias ciudades estadounidenses. En mayo de 2012 se estrenó en China otra versión, también de dos horas y media, pero con cambios en el montaje con respecto a la vista en Venecia.
[INTERNATIONAL VERSION] Mouna Rudo was born and raised among the Seediq people, an indigenous tribe in Taiwan, and as he grew to be a man he became a member of the Seediq Bale, a courageous band of native warriors. However, Rudo's way of life is threatened under the yoke of occupying forces from Japan, who took over the nation in 1895. As Rudo sees the traditions and honor of his people stripped away, he realizes the time has come to fight back, and in 1930 he brings together a group of former Seediq Bale soldiers, many of whom have been reduced to infighting, and molds them into a revolutionary army. Rudo and his comrades make their stand when they confront Japanese occupation troops at a youth athletic event, leading to a violent confrontation between the Seediq forces and their oppressors.
