Taiwan (historically called "Formosa" especially prior to 1945, from Portuguese: Ilha Formosa, "Beautiful Island") is an island and an archipelago in East Asia, composed of Taiwan Island and several much smaller islands such as the Penghu Islands, Orchid Island, Green Island, and Hsiao Liuchiu. The main island is located some 180 kilometres (112 miles) off the southeastern coast of China across the Taiwan Strait. It has an area of 35,883 km2 (13,855 sq mi) and straddles the Tropic of Cancer. The archipelago makes up the majority of the territory of the Republic of China (ROC, commonly known as "Taiwan"), after the ROC lost its mainland China territory in the Chinese Civil War.
The East China Sea lies to the north, the Philippine Sea to the east, the Luzon Strait directly to the south and the South China Sea to the southwest. The island is characterized by the contrast between the eastern two-thirds, consisting mostly of rugged mountains running in five ranges from the northern to the southern tip of the island, and the flat to gently rolling Chianan Plains in the west that are also home to most of Taiwan's population. Taiwan's highest point is Yu Shan at 3,952 metres (12,966 ft), and there are five other peaks over 3500 meters. This makes it the world's fourth-highest island.

Plot: "Opiated: Life Beneath the Eyelids", is a hip-hop epic of tsunami proportions. With an original soundtrack from Denver's own, American Trash Republic. The film is a generational, regional, biographical piece about the misunderstood natures of drug addiction and the culture that coincides with it; a clash of cultures between inner city life and the suburban youth that fund the drug epidemic that Baltimore is so well known for today. The film is shot documentary style with a narrative arc giving it the tactile overtones of a visual diary, following the daily ritual of searching for your 'fix', the body operates on auto-pilot, the collapse of time, nodding in and out of consciousness. Days filtered down to minutes. Never knowing where or what will happen next. The story is told from the addicts' point of view to realistically represent the evolution of addiction. "Opiated", illustrates how easy it is to find oneself entangled in a web of self-destruction. All are lured with the promises of pleasure, and faith is placed in the security of "I will never..." But these promises eventually mutate into consequent agony of the unmentioned realities that exist within the drug culture. The unspeakable truths become a daily occurrence and force the mind into mental remission, while the body is conditioned into a prison. The faith once placed in, "I will never..." is exchanged for an allegiance to, "Never say never."

Genres: Drama,I run my hands along the rail
Like I'm banging on a dead nail
I pull your mask around your face
And pack your castle in a big case
You're not a sage
But you know you're always on a big stage
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
He was just a guy with his plan
Pitchin' rubbers with his rain-tan
I took a date from the two day dance
I kissed my girl in pretty blue pants
Got to shake your hand
You know I've always been a big fan
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
On holiday when she was away, I was always
Never gonna, ever gonna
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
Stop right there, I got a dare
You pull your plan and dig your heal
Spin your castle on a bent wheel
Pull your mask around your face
And throw your hands into a big space
I'm not just gonna stand like I'm
Waiting for the big hand
