In 2019, the “Extradition Bill” which would have allowed the extradition of Hongkongers to China opened a Pandora’s box, turning Hong Kong into a battlefield against the Chinese authoritarian rule. The award-winning director of “Ten Years: Self Immolator,” Kiwi Chow, made this documentary to tell the story of the movement, both with a macro view of its historical context and up close and personal on the front lines. The 2019 movement is always labelled with the characteristics of “decentralized leadership”, “be water” (flexible tactics), “do not split” (unity but in different ways) and“blossoming everywhere” (protest all over the territory). The film covers seven teams of protesters with different stories which are put together as a comprehensive picture of the versatile movement. 內容撮要 過去五十年,香港人一直為自由與民主奮戰,卻未能成功。2019 年,《逃犯條例》的修訂打開了潘朵拉的盒子,令香港一下子變成對抗中國獨裁統治的戰場。《十年:自焚者》導演周冠威,不但宏觀地紀錄了整場抗爭運動,更走進抗爭現場,近距離追訪不同前線人物的故事。 這場發生在 2019 年的抗爭運動,有著不少突破以往群眾運動想像的特色,例如「無大台」、「be water」、「不割蓆」、「遍地開花」等等。紀錄片追訪了七個不同人物或團隊,為這個波瀾壯闊卻又靈活多變的運動,拼湊出一幅全面的圖畫。 About the Venue Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum Founded in 1984 by a group of Dallas area Holocaust Survivors, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is dedicated to teaching the history of the Holocaust and advancing human rights to combat prejudice, hatred and indifference. Located in Dallas’ Historic West End, the Museum hosted more than 80,000 visitors in 2018, among them 34,000 school children. A top-rated attraction in North Texas, the Museum is one of just a few Holocaust-related museums or centers in the United States and the only Holocaust museum serving North Central Texas, as well as the adjacent states of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. The Museum has been recognized for its compelling and creative programming, internationally recognized exhibits, and world-class speakers.

Webpage: miiasoey.com IG: miiasoey Graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Fine Arts, Helen So Miiasoey loves working with ink, watercolors and acrylic in illustrations and paintings. Her background in curating art exhibitions and teaching children arts had a rather big influence in her creations throughout the years. Yet, it was the last year of teaching kids art had once again brought her back in questioning her rusty ways of thinking as an artist or simply as a human being. In her works or in the progress of her works, it is not hard to spot the play bouncing between the reality and her imagination. She is keen on turning confusions and questions in life into works that are masked with humor. This is probably why her works often offer a sense of sweetness with a twist of something bitter, dark and sharp. Recently, she has been creating artworks that speaks up for her hometown Hong Kong and against other injustices, in hopes to channeling some hope via her works. Currently she is based in New York.
