I’m featured in a new documentary “Hong Kong ne répond plus”.

This film is for anyone who fears that Hong Kong is a lost cause, or for those who want to understand what the city is going through right now. The director, Antoine Védeilhé, has a remarkable story of his own. During production, he was searched at the airport and deported after authorities found a letter from me in his possession.

Despite this, he and his team showed incredible persistence, interviewing people who love the city and remain steadfast within it, including ex-councillor Leticia Wong, student leader Chan Chi-sum, and artist Kong Yiu-wing. Antoine has portrayed our community with such beauty, nuance, and respect.

It was an honour to be featured alongside so many amazing people, including Shirley Leung, Chan Kin-man, Sebastian Lai, Fu Tong, Yu-Jie Chen, Lord Patten, and Lord Sumption. The film also includes perspectives from the opposition, featuring Regina Ip, Allan Zeman, and Innes Tang.

It will be available online from 15 May on France TV, and TV broadcast on 17 May at 9:05 PM on France 5, as part of the Le Monde en face programme.
