Overview

When Hong Kong, which has a legal system separate from China, brought the 2019 Extradition Bill, citizens took to the streets. Locals feared that the law, which would extradite Hong Kong criminals to the mainland, will be used to target dissidents & undermine the region's judicial independence. This film documents how the protest turned into a pro-democracy movement whose impact echoed in Beijing.
