To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of China, the Press Division of TECO (Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles) is co-sponsoring another movie screening “No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti” October 19 (Wednesday). This Taiwanese movie is based on a real-life inspired tale of a poor and uneducated single father who fights the government's bureaucracy to retain custody of his child. It was the best film winner of 2009 Taiwan Golden Horse Film Award and several other international film festivals. It was also the Taiwan's official entry for the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film in 2010. (This movie has English subtitles). TECO will also provide a free souvenir for this event.
