The Taiwanese grandmothers who went from feeling ‘old and useless’ to an Oscar nomination
The daily lives of Chang Li hua, 86, and Yi Yan Fuei, 97, were filmed by their grandson. The result is Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó, an Oscar-nominated documentary
The two elderly Taiwanese women are leaning in towards the Zoom screen, sitting side by side and wearing complimentary smart red outfits. In an adjoining screen their grandson, film-maker Sean Wang, sits on a couch looking slightly nervous as they speak to a dozen or so journalists in Taipei.
“This feels surreal, doing a press conference with my grandmothers and seeing them answer all these questions while I’m just kind of sitting here,” he laughs. “And leading up to the Oscars … I say it out loud and it doesn’t feel like a real sentence.”
