2021 | DCP | HK | D: Kiwi Chow
Over the past 50 years, Hongkongers have fought for freedom and democracy but have yet to succeed. In 2019, the Extradition Bill to China opened a Pandora's box, turning Hong Kong into a battlefield against Chinese authoritarian rule.
Kiwi Chow, the award-winning director of Self-immolator (2015), made this documentary to tell the story of the movement, both with a macro view of its historical context and up close and personal on the frontlines.
‘With specificity, sweep and urgency, occasionally terrifying and bloody when capturing violent police tactics, Chow's movie is a true epic of meaningful resistance’ – Los Angeles Times
