Hong Kong: Retrocession Generation

2017 · 57 min

A sober, talk-heavy documentary that watches like a political briefing, informative but emotionally distant and occasionally tense.

Overview: In 2017, twenty years after the British handed over Hong Kong to China in 1997, young people, more politicized than any previous generation and proud of their land, do not feel Chinese and actively fight against the oligarchs who want to subdue them to China's authoritarian power.
How it feels: Earnest, tense and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, identity, power, rebellion
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
