In 2019, the “Extradition Bill” to China opened 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” and “blossoming everywhere” (protest all over the territory). The film covers seven teams of protestors with different stories which put together a comprehensive picture of the versatile movement... 「香港站在全球自由之戰的最前線！」《時代雜誌》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。 "Revolution of Our Times reminds fellow Hongkongers the unprecedented level of solidarity transcending ideology, social status, age, occupation, and gender during the movement could well be reproduced in the future." -- Simon Shen, International Relations scholar from Hong Kong "With specificity, sweep and urgency…Chow's movie is a true epic of meaningful resistance." -- Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times"Watching Revolution of Our Times is a brutal experience that underlines the fear the world has of Xi Jinping's China, as no nation helps the protesters." -- This Week In New York "Chow's film is a riveting chronicle of Hongkongers' bold and courageous defense of civil and political rights in the face of brutal suppression by police and Chinese national security forces." -- KPFK Film Club
