The Umbrella Movement was a wave of street protests that took place in Hong Kong from September to December 2014 as a reaction to oppressive practices of the Chinese government against the citizens of Hong Kong dissatisfied with planned changes in the electoral system. In her feature film debut, To Liu captured the citizens of the western part of Kowloon, Mong Kok, whose protests might not have been as visible as those of the leading activists, but were no less important. The documentary rhythmized by opening entries and darkening of the scene, much like the director’s first film, follows two characters, a master and an apprentice.

Six stories. Six voices that have been silenced for years. This film is not just a record of experiences – it is a cry that cannot be silenced. Pamela Porwen, known for her uncompromising activist photography, this time gives space to the protagonists, whose lives have become entangled in politics. In a raw, almost intimate form, the film interweaves the narratives of people from different backgrounds – a transgender man, a victim of sexual violence, an activist convicted of helping someone have an abortion – to create a brutally real picture of a reality in which decisions about one’s own body are a luxury available to few. There are no aesthetic filters or glamorous shots here – instead, there are emotions so thick you could cut them with a knife. Silence is no longer an option. This is a film that shocks, teases, opens your eyes, and doesn’t let you forget.
