Revolution Of Our Times 15

Over the past fifty years, Hongkongers have fought for freedom and democracy but have yet to succeed. In 2019, the ‘Extradition Bill’ which would have allowed the extradition of Hongkongers to China opened a Pandora’s box of city-wide resistance, turning Hong Kong into a battlefield against the Chinese authoritarian rule. The award-winning director of ‘Ten Years: Self Immolator’, Kiwi Chow, 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 front lines.

As freedom and democracy face an unprecedented crisis worldwide, Revolution of Our Times is not only about the battle of Hongkongers, but the war between freedom lovers and dictatorships all over the world.
