Oscar-directed documentary "Hong Kong: The Covered Up" (4)｜Crossing the Boundary

Two-time Oscar winner for Best Documentary Short, 16 Emmy Award winners, and world-class documentary director Malcolm Clarke, reorganized the 2019 Hong Kong anti-amendment turmoil and compiled ten episodes of what he saw and heard on the streets of the conflict at that time Documentary Hong Kong: The Covered Up (Hong Kong Returns).

In the fourth episode, the "July 1 impact on the Legislative Council" is regarded as the key to the "cross-border" of the radical protesters, which can be said to "shock the world".

I believe that many Hong Kong people still vividly remember this scene.

"If we want to win, we will continue to win together. If we want to lose, we will lose for ten years, and our entire civil society will never turn over for ten years." - On the night of July 1, 2019, the demonstration of the occupation of the Legislative Council by illegal force The generous remarks made by the protesters who took off their masks moved many citizens, and they called for "not to be ashamed, not to cut seats, and not to criticize."

However, perhaps because of this sympathy, Hong Kong has walked out of another fate.

After the large-scale occupation operation in 2014, "occupy what, what, what" is no stranger to Hong Kong people.

However, the "Legislative Council" is not an ordinary place, but an institution specializing in legislation. Radical protesters have attacked one of the "roots of the rule of law" in the name of "defending the rule of law".

Their wanton destruction, even Cowens is worried, worried that "the foundation is shaking."

However, some American politicians, such as Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, described it as "the battle between democracy and dictatorship, freedom against tyranny, freedom against oppression, and we Americans stand here today, joining hands with freedom-loving Hong Kong people."

"The response of American politicians is totally unfair. They are hailing actions that are absolutely unacceptable to their country as a 'fight for freedom and democracy,' completely ignoring the damage they are doing to our lives and our institutions." Ye Liu Shuyi, a member of the New Democratic Party's Executive Council and a member of the Legislative Council, pointed out that just as the US Capitol Hill incident in January 2021 was characterized as a "rebellion" by the US authorities, the anti-amendment turmoil in Hong Kong will inevitably be regarded by Beijing as a "riot" against the regime.

Compared with many Hong Kongers caught in the "yellow-blue conflict", Ke Wensi can understand Beijing's concerns, "because Hong Kong has long been a bastion of peace and stability, and now it has almost become the most turbulent city in Asia." However, many demonstrators It seems that he can't see this concern, and even becomes more and more radical, "feeling willing to sacrifice his future for temporary violence," while the police who must maintain law and order face increasing security risks and law enforcement pressure, "but ignored by some media."

At the same time, Ke Wensi, who went to the streets and alleys with the "blooming everywhere" demonstrations, also felt the anxiety of ordinary people: "Dynamite, lethal weapons, the revolutionary slogan of 'Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times', etc. , you can understand why ordinary people are worried - the city is going to get more and more out of control.”

Ke Wensi recently accepted an exclusive interview with "Hong Kong 01", and bluntly expressed that he was angry that the European and American media simplified the anti-amendment turmoil into "a dispute between cowboys and aborigines". , and also hope that the Hong Kong people who have been torn apart several times will let go of their prejudices and resolve conflicts.

"Hong Kong 01" is authorized to broadcast "Hong Kong: The Covered Truth", presenting readers with the "dangerous times" in the eyes of the British director.
