Hong Kong ne répond plus
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.
The film and a TV debate are now available online on France TV, as part of the Le Monde en face programme, and a Swiss channel RTS.
Turning repression into resilience, and resilience into action.
