"A Chip Odyssey" features interviews with over 80 key figures who witnessed and shaped the development of the semiconductor industry - from the first generation of engineers and female factory workers, to policymakers and technology venters, and today's young engineers facing new crossroads. The feature-length documentary chronicles how Taiwan built its semiconductor industry from scratch and transformed it into a global technological force, capturing a vital and transformative chapter in the island's modern history.
