A LEASE TO PARADISE

Relaxing, not imposing, though its subject matter is indeed somber, A Lease to Paradise is not a story limited to the local audience, but looks at life through the eyes of an old lady from a fishing village, who incessantly fights to preserve a "home" of her deceased loved ones and herself for afterlife. Yet many facets of life she has never experienced still confront her. Brought together by fate, a group of people that have suffered misfortune then join hands to support each other in an unfamiliar place.

為慶祝全美台美人傳統週，美國KCET公共電視台與台灣公視合作，安排公視人生劇展單元劇「違章天堂」，於二00四年五月十五日週六晚間十一點於KCET頻道播出。KCET為美國PBS公視在美國西岸的重要分支，收視範圍涵蓋加州中部與南部，平均每周家戶收視群達兩百八十萬家庭，相當於上千萬個人的收視單位。

為了慶祝公視與KCET的首次合作，公視即將於五月八日至廿二日在網站上提供免費的節目下載，讓國內外的影迷與媒體記者，可以先睹為快。另外，公視並將促成本劇女主角謝月霞與美國加州地區的廣播電台跨洋連線，讓加州當地的台美人與其他族裔均可以收聽到謝月霞的拍片趣事，以及資深歌仔戲小生的唱腔功力。詳情請進入公視網站www.pts.org.tw查詢。

台美人傳統週的舉辦時間是每年五月，由各地台籍美人社團發動的慶祝活動。事實上，每年五月是美國「亞太民族傳統月」，各個亞裔族群均會舉辦文化活動，慶祝族群傳統及對美國的貢獻。在一九九九年，台美人合訂五月的一週為『台美人傳統週』，全美各地的台美社團將舉辦各種介紹台灣社會人文的活動，慶祝台灣人的傳統、成就、及對美國的貢獻。

「違章天堂」是關於謝月霞所飾演的漁村老婦，為了往生的家人及自己未來的「家」，不停抗爭。在她奮鬥的過程中，一群同樣遭逢不幸的人因緣際會牽起了手，將無人的廢墟變成了祝福的天堂。本劇曾獲得亞洲電視獎最佳電視單元劇的提名，並在前年金鐘獎拿下戲劇節目單元劇獎、單元劇導演獎、單元劇編劇獎、單元劇女主角獎等四項大獎。

A Lease to Paradise, one of the award-winning TV movies made for Life Stories, the drama slate on PTS Taiwan, has been selected and will make its American debut on KCET, May 15th through a collaboration with Taiwanese American Heritage Committee over the coming Taiwanese American Heritage Week in mid May, which is the special theme based programming on KCET since its inception in 2002.

Taiwanese American Heritage Week, founded by Taiwanese American Heritage Committee which started in May, 2002 running in partnership on KCET, the West Coast flagship station of Public Television Service or PBS, has demonstrated a successful collaboration with the mainstream media and ethic minorities. At the time, Grandma and Her Ghosts, and From Prison to Power, had both been selected for TAHK in 2002. And to expand the early success of the programming which aims to support cultural exchange across the Pacific Ocean, A Lease to Paradise, selected to be programmed for the second TAHK on KCET, has been scheduled to broadcast at PM11:00 on May 15th, 2004.

Relaxing, not imposing, though its subject matter is indeed somber, A Lease to Paradise is not a story limited to the local audience, but looks at life through the eyes of an old lady from a fishing village, who incessantly fights to preserve a "home" of her deceased loved ones and herself for afterlife. Yet many facets of life she has never experienced still confront her. Brought together by fate, a group of people that have suffered misfortune then join hands to support each other in an unfamiliar place.

To further commemorate the bilateral collaboration with KCET for the first time, PTS will provide online services of the program before its release date for Saturday, May 15th, to allow the viewers and web users to watch the program for free preview from May 8th to May 22nd. In addition, Xie, Uei-xia, the leading actress of A Lease to Paradise and well achieved Taiwan Opera performing artist as well, will also be phone interviewed about her career and the behind the scenes story of the program by local radios in California during the time.
