"So what about Taiwan?" the narrator asks.

The project organizers explained that they were calling for an honest confession and a sincere apology from the perpetrators of the 228 Incident. Only then could there be reconciliation, they said.

"The Chinese Nationalist Party [KMT] keeps asking people to forgive," Takayuki said.

"If you strike a person, you can't just tell him to forget about it. You have to apologize first, then it's up to the victim to decide whether or not to forgive you. It's ridiculous that the perpetrator of the crime keeps telling the victims to forget about it," she added.

All of the contributors to the video were volunteers.
