A CHIP ODYSSEY造山者｜世紀的賭注 — UCLA Screening & Conversation

A Chip Odyssey is Taiwan’s first feature-length documentary chronicling the history of its semiconductor industry—how a resource-scarce island became a global powerhouse through vision, grit, and decades of world-class engineering. The film interweaves interviews with more than eighty leaders from industry, government, and academia to tell the story of a high-stakes national "gamble of the century" that reshaped geopolitics and innovation worldwide.

This UCLA screening brings together communities across engineering, cinema, and international studies to reflect on Taiwan’s lessons for the era of AI—highlighting opportunities for U.S.–Taiwan collaboration in science, technology, and workforce development.
