Description

In June 2019, a series of massive demonstrations took place against the Hong Kong government’s attempt to revise and pass the Extradition Law. Many young protesters attempted to commit suicide to validate their opposition. The story takes place on 28th July, a week after the white mob attack in Yuen Long. YY, a 17-year-old girl, announced her attempt to end her life on Instagram. After that, she couldn’t be contacted or located. Nam, the 20-year-old “comrade” who met YY at a protest-related arrest frantically searches for her around the Kwai Tsing district where she lives. Her photo and other information were posted on Telegram and LIHKG Forum, urging hundreds of volunteers to join the search. It’s a run against time; an emotionally exhausting hunt. May You Stay Forever Young is finally in the US with screening all across the country. Join us to watch this powerful, truthful film in Washington DC to get a sense of what young Hongkongers had experienced during the 2019 Anti-Extradition movement. This is part of the nationwide screening tour "不忘初心 Back To Where We Started" organized by We The Hongkongers, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to promoting the identity and culture of Hongkongers in the U.S.
