Revolution of Our Times (2021)

Plot

Hongkongers have long battled for their freedoms, but 2019 marked a pivotal moment with the introduction of a contentious extradition bill allowing trials in mainland China. This sparked widespread protests and intense resistance against the tightening grip of Chinese authority in the city-state. Kiwi Chow, an acclaimed director, captures the fervor of the movement through a blend of historical context, on-the-ground footage, and heartfelt interviews with activists. "Revolution of Our Times" serves as a poignant chronicle of a population's struggle for democracy and self-determination amidst escalating tensions.
