When a City Rises (2021)
Amid the escalating protests in Hong Kong, a diverse group of young activists don gas masks to battle for democracy and freedom in their city. United in their cause, they bravely confront the tightening grip of the Chinese government, which is increasingly silencing dissent. Through the lens of this movement, we meet a 21-year-old student, a teenage couple, and a new father, each driven by a shared vision of a brighter future. Their stories highlight the resilience and determination of youth standing up against oppression in a city grappling with its identity and autonomy.
