Zweieinhalb Stunden Gänsehaut. Nicht, weil ich oft dabei war, sondern weil der Film den Kampf von David gegen Goliath zeigt. Dazu richtig gut gedreht und montiert. FUCK! Add Oil, Hongkongers!
This clandestine account of the massive Hong Kong democracy protests which brought a million citizens out onto the streets in 2019 is riveting viewing. Director Kiwi Chow was there in the midst of the epochal moment, and with the help of a wide array of interviewees (many of them masked or digitally camouflaged) presents a fascinating chronicle of how the movement sprang into being, evolved and organized itself in the face of brutal authoritarian repression.
