Revolution of Our Times

The Times Didn't Choose Us, We Chose to Change the Times

A politically urgent documentary that chronicles Hong Kong's 2019 protest movement through historical context and frontline testimony, balancing collective struggle with individual sacrifice.

Throughout Hong Kong’s history, Hongkongers have fought for freedom and democracy but have yet to succeed. In 2019, a controversial extradition bill was introduced that would allow Hongkongers to be tried in mainland China. This decision spurred massive protests, riots, and resistance against heavy-handed Chinese rule over the City-State. Award-winning director Kiwi Chow documents the events to tell the story of the movement, with both a macro view of its historical context and footage and interviews from protestors on the front lines.
