A new world order is emerging, shaped by an unseen yet critical resource: semiconductors. These tiny microprocessors power nearly every aspect of modern life, from computers and smartphones to cars, refrigerators, and even advanced military technologies.
Chip War

The global shortage of these essential components has exposed the fragility of supply chains, driving inflation, stalling industries, and intensifying geopolitical tensions, particularly between the United States and China.
In 2021 alone, an estimated 10 million cars were not produced due to a lack of semiconductors. Yet while demand for these cutting-edge chips has soared, their production remains concentrated in only a handful of locations, with 63% of all chips produced in Taiwan. This dependency has made Taiwan not only the nerve center of the global tech economy but also a flashpoint in the ongoing power struggle between superpowers.
Chip War explores how this reliance on a single island has placed the world’s economic and technological stability at risk. With Taiwan at the heart of a potential geopolitical conflict, the stakes could not be higher. This documentary examines the history, science, and strategic importance of semiconductors, detailing the efforts of governments and industries to diversify production and reduce dependency on a fragile supply chain.
Through expert interviews and in-depth analysis, the film reveals how the semiconductor shortage is reshaping global relations and affecting daily life. From stalled car production lines to rising prices of consumer goods, the battle for microprocessors has already begun. But what solutions exist to secure this critical resource, and at what cost? Chip War provides a gripping look at one of the most urgent and complex challenges of our time.
