I can think of a couple of films that take this up wiht varying degrees of success. friends of mine produced a documentary about Hawaii, "Kamaka Eha: the aching eye" that takes teh stance of being a tourist, but ends up being about the sovreignity struggle in Hawaii, it unfolds quite organically and is sort of multi-vocal, you can get in touch with them at: anula-AT-termitetv.org Also, there is Lynn Sachs documentary, "Which way is East?" about her visit to Vietnam, that is very delicate about her accounts of travelling in Vietnam. However Vietnam ends up being the place where Americans created havoc. I think its an interesting document just for its use of reflexivity as a way to absolve a rather palpable guilt on the part of a liberal Westerner visiting the "Other" lands. While on the subject of travel writing, are there any travel writing (imperialist and otherwise) and discussion of travel writing on Taiwan?
