Synopsis ---  
Rev. Shoki Coe (1914-1988),. After the Second World War, he was one of the most significant leaders in the history of the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan (PCT). He was also an unforgettable Christian leader who had strong faith in God. He rebuilt the Tainan Theological college and seminary and transformed it from a barren to a blessed state. Before that, the theological college had been closed for eight years due to the war.



This documentary has tried to record his development, the film starts from 1895 to his childhood, and to youth. Then it shows how his character developed, and goes on to his important work, which included the Tainan Theological College and Seminary, and his later involvement in self-determination. His growth path comprises the main framework of this documentary.



This documentary is trying to bring out the emotional aspects and at the same time to record Shoki Coe's life. Although this film is about someone who was born 100 years ago, his life reflects Taiwanese people from 1895 till now. The unforgettable fight and self -determination marks Shoki Coe's life. He experienced very deep resentment and unfairness“『呣甘願』(m-kam-goan)”. At that time Taiwanese lived as 3rd class citizens under Japanese colonization, and up to the present day Taiwanese are still struggling with their own identity problems. This is not just a documentary about an old pastor, but it also brings out a memory that we shared together, and the lesson that we have to learn together.

In year 1988 spring, Shoki Coe gave a speech in the East Coast of the USA, and the title of that speech was “Is time on our side”?



Taiwan / North American Light Salt Communication Association made this documentary based on Jonah Chang's book “Shoki Coe, An Ecumenical life in Context”, and with Shoki Coe's book “Reflection and Recollection” as reference.


Producer's Note --- by Long-long Lim


Fortunately Rev. Shoki Coe had a good student Jonah Chang, who wrote and published the book “An Ecumenical Life in Context: Shoki Coe”. Otherwise after 20 or 30 years, the work that Rev. Shoki Coe had done for the Taiwanese church might slowly have faded from the historical record.

Rev. Jonah Chang told me recently that he is currently doing some field work to collect information for a book about Rev. Boris Anderson. That made me re-read the book “Recollections and Reflections by Shoki Coe”. In the book there is a section describing a period when both of them were working for Tainan theological college and seminary as President and Deputy President, Shoki Coe wrote:
‘On my appointment to the Principalship in August 1949, I had a fear and trembling in my heart such as I think no-one in the church ever guessed. I was just 35 years and two days old. I hardly had any experience then as a theological educator,…It was the same with Boris, who was even younger than ITogether we did manage to“muddle through” fairly successfully in those early, difficult but exciting years.’

This film aims to record the life of Rev. Shoki Coe, and the producer uses “him” to deliver two story lines, namely.
1. Self -Determination
2. ‘To Sir with Love’

There is only background music and subtitles to go with these two sections. In “Self-Determination” the background music is “Tâi-ôan Chhùi-chhiⁿ” (means ‘Taiwan forever green’). In the other section “To Sir with Love,” the background music is “Dream of Hengchun Minor.” These two pieces of music were both composed by Professor Tyzen Hsiao. The animation of “An Unforgettable Fight” features Shoki Coe aged ten on his way home after school. Here the music is “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so,” since Shoki Coe's book ‘Reflections and Recollections’ mentions “This is my favourite hymn since childhood (p.265)

During the documentary tour, there were so many times after screening when the audience gave me feedback about the animation in this film. Especially about what Shoki Coe was like during his childhood and his university life in Tokyo. They really thought the character was very lovely and the image impressive.

On 20th Aug 2009, the premiere of this documentary was held in Changhua Christian Hospital David Landsborough International Conference room. Rev. Hsiao pointed out that TungHai university was funded by “American Foundation for Higher Education”, not the “Nanjing Jinling Theological Education Foundation.” I would like to thank Rev. Hsiao Qing Fen for that information , and will correct this before public showing.

Not many people know that in the summer of 1966, Tainan Theological College and Seminary had a department of public communication, which was the first public communication department in Taiwan. For several reasons it was closed down after 2-3 years. If this department had continued, and 5 students had graduated every year, after 40 years there would have been a lot of professionals who work in public communication comes from Christianity background. This would have impacts on the media industry in present-day Taiwanese society. (Rev. Wang Zhen Wen commented: Rev. Shoki Coe had this dream too early)

I really love and agree with this phrase (by Robert Hughes 1932- an Australian critic)
People inscribe their histories, beliefs, attitudes, desires, and dreams in the images they make.”

In the beginning I planned to call this film: “Is Time On Our Side?” When I was at the printing company talking to the graphic designer for the final correction, Rev. Hung Rui Lang suggested I should add “Still” to the film’s title. Therefore the film is now called: “Is Time Still On Our Side?”

The documentary “Is Time Still On Our Side” will be shown in SOAS university on 5th Nov. We welcome everyone to join us.
