Hong Kong: City on Fire

Taking us from Hong Kong's 1997 handover from British rule into Chinese administrative control, all the way to 2019, when a controversial extradition bill is greeted with massive street protests, this urgent film beds in with Hong Kong's pro-democracy demonstrations, offering a frontline portrait of four young protesters through a year of struggle. We see their hopes for a freer life and feel their fears as the authorities crack down. Pulse-racing scenes bring the viewer to street level, where peaceful protest is met with fury and tear gas. Clear-eyed about the complications and contradictions that come with a movement that changed Hong Kong forever, Hong Kong: City on Fire is a brave document of troubled times.

The Spring of Tamra in 1948

The Jeju Uprising was caused by communists (leftists) in South Korea to prevent the election of the Constitutional Assembly on May 10, 1948. The goal of the left is communist unification! The left-wing South Law Party slaughtered police, right-wing figures, election commissioners, Christians, and their families on Jeju. We hear things we don't know well, those who have been victimized by the South Law Party, and the voices of unjust victims. What were the atrocities that the communists committed? What terrible things can happen again if you don't remember this?
