Podcasts about hong kongers

In this podcast episode, we speak to Katherine Leung, Policy Advisor for Hong Kong Watch. The Hong Kong national security police recently issued a new wave of arrest warrants against six overseas Hong Kong rights defenders in the UK and Canada. We speak to Katherine about growing transnational repression against Hong Kongers in Canada and how that impacts the ability of community members to fully participate in Canadian democracy. Katherine also speaks about Canada's Foreign Interference Commission and where it may fall short. This episode is part of a special project supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage. Titled Digital Defenders Initiative, the aim of the project is to uncover transnational repression and foreign manipulation campaigns in Canada, and their impact on the diaspora. 

It's not uncommon for Hong Kongers to cross the border to the mainland to buy some "high copy" luxury items. While fake markets have been around China for a long time, host Mohammed Magdi remembers a time where a huge fake market was located in the middle of Shanghai, selling everything from questionable Beats by Dr. Dre to a flashlight that's also a taser.   Check out "Broken" on Netflix Get tickets for Backstage Comedy shows: https://linktr.ee/backstagecomedy Subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hohopod Leave us a review: (please!) https://www.ratethispodcast.com/hohohkpod Follow Mohammed on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theothermohammed/ Follow Vivek on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/funnyvivek/

Some are holding fast to their mother tongue, even with migration overseas, and are coming up with creative ways to spread the learning and use of Cantonese. Synopsis: The Straits Times chats with ST's global correspondents about life as it goes on, amid the screaming headlines and bubbling crises. Want to pick up Cantonese? Some Hong Kongers - from a software engineer to a playgroup teacher based in Britain - have created new ways of learning the Chinese dialect such as through apps, videos and social media accounts. This surge in a grassroots effort is coming at a time when many Hong Kongers are feeling unmoored by the political turbulence of the past decade. As more migrate to non-Cantonese speaking societies, they are holding fast to their identity and language in a foreign environment. There are also growing fears that Cantonese in Hong Kong and Guangdong is a dying language with people abandoning it for English or Mandarin.

Hong Kong fencer Cheung Ka-long's victory over Italy's Filippo Macchi at the Paris Olympics has sparked an exchange of insults on social media, with Cheung's supporters celebrating his win with posts about pineapple pizzas—widely considered a culinary blunder in Italian cooking. Cheung made Hong Kong history in July by beating Macchi 15-14 in the men's foil. That triumph made Cheung, who had won the Tokyo Games in 2021, the first Hong Konger to bag two gold medals. The bout required three stoppages for video reviews to determine the deciding point as the fencing machine registered scores from both fencers at about the same time. The final point was eventually awarded to Cheung, sparking protests from the Italian side. The Italian Fencing Federation said in a statement that it would file a complaint to the International Olympic Committee and the International Fencing Federation about what it called “unacceptable” refereeing. Italy's Olympic Committee President Giovanni Malagò suggested the selection of referees was problematic, saying “the two judges were from Taipei and Korea in a final between Italy and Hong Kong.” Macchi's supporters also left comments on Cheung's Instagram account to express their grievances. One comment alleged that Cheung's championship was “robbed” and Macchi should be the final winner. In a mockery response, Hong Kongers replied with comments on Instagram about their love for pineapple pizza to defend Cheung and said they would have a lot of pineapple pizzas to celebrate the win. Pizza Hut in Hong Kong and neighboring gambling city Macao also offered free pineapple toppings on any pizzas when dining at its branches on July 30 and 31 to celebrate the victory. But Macchi eventually earned respect from some Hong Kongers after he posted on his Instagram to say that he knows both referees and he did not want to point a finger at them for his loss. He added their decisions have to be respected. Cheung's win also marked the first time Hong Kong has secured two gold medals in the same Olympics. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第七集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第七集「無線電視廣播的衝擊及『香港地』『香港人』意識的明顯出現」 討論大網： 1967年無線電視開始，到1970年代電視成了深入民心的娛樂和資信媒介。其後原本有線廣播的麗的也轉為無線廣播。香港電影也受到電視冒起的直接影響。電視上成功的節目被改編成電影，電視也成了電影人材的培訓地，成功的電視人紛紛被引進電影圈。電視上的戲劇節目和新聞節目也建立了一個清晰的香港人身份認同。以粵語作廣播的電視甚至幫助香港電影由國語主導轉變成粵語主導。香港電影也在1970年代完成了世代交替，上一輩編導多在1970年代退下火線，在香港成長的新一代影人紛紛接棒，單以電影界出身的，吳思遠、洪金寶、吳宇森都開始建立他們穩固的導演地位。新一代影人之外還有新的類型，功夫片、警匪片、黑幫片、賭千片等過去沒有的類型也在1970年代成型。 --------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 7 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 7: “TVB's Impact on the Emergence of ‘Hong Kong' and the ‘Hong Konger' Identity" Television Broadcasting Limited (TVB) was founded in 1967 and had, by the 1970s, become a popular and influential entertainment and information program in Hong Kong. Even Hong Kong cinema was directly influenced by the rise of television. Television soon became a training ground for talent in the film industry: successful televisions were often adapted into movies, and it was common for successful television personnel to be introduced into the film industry. Television dramas and news programs also established a distinctive identity for the people of Hong Kong. Cantonese Television even helped shift Hong Kong Cinema's market from being a Mandarin-dominated market to being Cantonese-dominated. In the 1970s, Hong Kong cinema completed a generational transition, with the previous generation of directors and writers retiring from the scene and a new generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong taking over. Notable directors who emerged from this period include John Woo, Sammo Hung, and Tsui Hark, who all established themselves as leading figures in the industry. In addition to new filmmakers, new film genres such as martial arts films, crime films, gangster films, and gambling films also emerged in the 1970s, which had not been seen before. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

27 years ago, the world witnessed Hong Kong's handover from the UK to China. The city is now under a different kind of spotlight.

Continuing our regional focus of late, Greg and Ed discuss Ed's recent trip to Hong Kong and how it compares to big, bad Bangkok. Ed begins with a big caveat: he's not really much of a traveler, and he spent only 2 ½ days in Hong Kong, so his take is that of a true noob. That being said, Ed begins on the positive side, noting how geographically beautiful the city is, being situated on mountainous islands that present incredible photo opportunities.  However, when compared to Bangkok, Ed found a lot of shortcomings. First, Hong Kongers tend not to smile much, including customer service staff. After years in Thailand, Ed realized how spoiled he has become. Second, the LOCAL cuisine was almost comically bland, with food literally being served unspiced and with no condiments on the table. (Both guys agree though that when you factor in all the international cuisine there, the food options overall are great.) Third, money and social status was discussed openly and almost constantly by Ed's tour guides, which to Ed's western ears came across a bit crass. On a more neutral note but still unusual, the tour guides also openly discussed Hong Kong politics and their disdain for China in general. As a student of politics, Ed didn't mind, but their open near-hostility seemed inappropriate in a tourist setting. Greg provides some counterpoint to Ed's experience, having enjoyed Hong Kong in the past, and Ed admits he needs to return, sans tour guides, to explore the city more in depth. How do you think Hong Kong measures up to Bangkok?  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第六集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第六集「嘉禾的出現及自由競爭下1970年代影業的興旺」 討論大網： 1970年開始時，擁有影城和院線，製作量龐大的邵氏兄弟公司好像一個絕不可能被打倒的影壇巨人，結果它卻製造出自己的強大敵人，那就是從邵氏公司的管理人員鄒文懷。鄒在邵氏因方逸華主政而離開組織嘉禾公司，它發掘了李小龍，承接了國泰公司的片廠，組織了院線，再由許冠文喜劇屢破票房紀錄。嘉禾由一家資金短絀的公司發展成足以與邵氏分庭抗禮的國際有名的大公司，並成為1980至1990香港電影的中流砥柱，可說是一個傳奇。除了嘉禾，1970年代在不同時期都有一些獨立電影公司在票房上創出佳績，為影業帶來新風，包括思遠、繽繽，這都與香港影業自由競爭脫不了干系。 在這第六集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，在第三節，我們討論了以下內容：七十年代香港電影與台灣電影的關係如何？為何可以說是歷史上最緊密的時期？隨著粵語片停產，台灣電影進入香港市場，哪些作品受到了歡迎？許多台灣電影人來到香港註冊開公司，並在香港進行電影後期製作，原因是什麼？為什麼香港在這個年代的後期製作會受益於台灣電影的湧入？台灣電影在香港是如何沒落的？這與香港在自由氣氛下爆發的創作力有何關係？香港在自由的環境下，如何超越台灣影人的作品？ 「南下影人」在七十年代還有發展嗎？香港電影業界與外國（主要是美國）電影業界有哪些聯繫？雙方自六十年代開始交流後對香港電影製作有什麼影響？七十年代，不少片場倒閉，取而代之的是租借器材公司，例如沙龍，為什麼會出現這種現象？對電影業有什麼貢獻？--------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 6 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition" At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story. In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry. In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the third segment, we covered the following topics:How were Hong Kong and Taiwanese films related in the 1970s, and why can this period be considered the closest in history?With the cessation of Cantonese films, Taiwanese films entered the Hong Kong market. Which works were well-received?Why did many Taiwanese filmmakers come to Hong Kong to register companies and conduct post-production work there? Why did Hong Kong's post-production industry benefit from the influx of Taiwanese films during this period?How did Taiwanese films decline in Hong Kong, and how is this related to the creative explosion in Hong Kong's free atmosphere? How did Hong Kong surpass Taiwanese filmmakers' works in a free environment?Did "Filmmakers from Mainland China" continue to develop in the 1970s?What connections existed between Hong Kong's film and foreign (mainly American) film industries? What impact did their interactions since the 1960s have on Hong Kong film production?In the 1970s, many film studios closed down and were replaced by equipment rental companies, such as Salon. Why did this phenomenon occur, and what contributions did it make to the film industry? ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

Jimi Famurewa meets the Hong Kongers who are serving, growing and eating the food of their home country to connect with their own food heritage and find a new sense of belonging.Almost 200,000 Hong Kongers have arrived in the UK since a new government visa offered safe passage and the chance of a new life in January 2021. And, as they settle into communities across the UK, including in New Malden, Manchester and Reading, there's been a noticeable impact on food culture. At Holy Sheep, in Camden, Jimi tastes the spicy rice noodles beloved by this new generation of Hong Kongers, before visiting Hong Kong's most famous organic farmer who relocated and now helps new migrants grow the culturally-significant Choy Sum and other Asian vegetables.As he talks to Hong Kongers about the role food has played in settling into the UK, Jimi also finds out how, for some, food has become an act of resistance and a way to express political solidarity. From the so-called 'yellow economy' of pro democracy restaurants and food shops in Hong Kong, to choosing to travel miles to buy ingredients that don't come from China, Jimi starts to realise how food has become more than just a taste of home. Produced by Nina Pullman for BBC Audio in Bristol.

1.     The English historian Edward Thomson once wrote of the “enormous condescension of posterity” towards those of us – overwhelmingly most of us – who are not movers and shakers. Yet it is those lives, humdrum and invisible though they often are, that actually make moving and shaking possible. In being moved and shaken, it's we nobodies who actually do the moving and shaking. Chance can sometimes reveal one of the moved and shaken caught up in larger historical patterns…and through their personal stories lead to undermining received assumptions. In 2015 a small brass label was discovered under five metres of mud in Victoria Harbour. It belonged to a Royal Marine called Edgar Goodman. His story reveals that HMS Tamar was not always Hong Kong's 20th century naval base…and that there were Hong Kongers at Gallipoli.

Three Hong Kong freedom fighters who have made it their life's work to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party and for basic human rights in Hong Kong join the She Thinks podcast this week. Due to their work, all three have been accused of “inciting secession” and “collusion with foreign forces” and currently have $1M bounties on their heads. We discuss the state of Hong Kong, their work, and recent legislation that has struck a blow to the partial autonomy Hong Kong had been promised by China. Frances Hui is the Policy and Advocacy Coordinator for the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, which works with communities oppressed by the CCP. Anna Kwok is the Executive Director of the Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC), a leading nonpartisan, nonprofit organization for Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement and Hong Kongers in the United States. Joey Siu is a Hong Kong activist and Executive Council Member of World Liberty Congress. She played a vital role during Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests of 2019 as a student leader, organizing on-campus and city-wide protests.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today's news cycle and are seeking the truth.

Amidst the turbulence of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong over the past few years, a profound exodus has unfolded, with over 200,000 Hong Kong residents seeking refuge elsewhere. Among them, approximately 20,000 have found solace in Taiwan, embracing it as their sanctuary. Leaving behind a familiar life is undoubtedly challenging, but forging a new path in a foreign land presents its own set of trials. In this enlightening conversation, brought to you in collaboration with TaiwanPlus, we delve into the aspirations, hopes, and dreams of two remarkable members of the Hong Kong diaspora – Kacey Wong and Shirley Leung. Join us as we explore their courageous journey and the inspiring narratives that unfold beyond the tumultuous events in Hong Kong.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第五集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」 討論大網： 1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代，主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批，創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面，類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影，也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片，並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面，經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態，造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片，從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。 在這第五集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，每節的主題如下： 5.1 60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。 5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影，另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影 5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象，以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響，及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。 Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s” The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong's economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics; 5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films. 5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong. 5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第五集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」 討論大網： 1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代，主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批，創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面，類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影，也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片，並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面，經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態，造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片，從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。 在這第五集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，每節的主題如下： 5.1 60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。 5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影，另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影 5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象，以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響，及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。 Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s” The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong's economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics; 5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films. 5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong. 5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

Hong Kong rose from poverty to prosperity by adhering to the rule of law and safeguarding freedom of speech, property rights, free trade, and the whole range of personal and economic liberties that made the territory one of the freest places on Earth. As Beijing brazenly violated Hong Kongers' basic rights and autonomy, media entrepreneur and democracy activist Jimmy Lai became one of the territory's leading dissidents and an eloquent champion of human freedom. While Lai defended Hong Kong's traditional liberties, the authorities shut down his popular newspaper, Apple Daily, and threw him in jail, where he awaits trial on trumped up national security charges that could result in life imprisonment.Join us for a screening of an Acton Institute documentary about how Lai's remarkable struggle embodies Hong Kong's spirit and about the greater implications of this contest between liberty and power. A brief discussion will follow the film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

《3CM》(2019) 是其中一部在「銀幕·香港」香港Indie電影網上展放映的電影 (詳情：https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home）。《3CM》(2019)看似一個微不足道的距離，卻是結節性硬化症病人生死存亡的指標，影響他們能否得到合適的藥物。電影由兩位背景各異的病友媽媽的角度出發，走訪他們爭取生存權利和尊嚴的歷程，從而探討公共政策及社會公義等課題。《3CM》(2019)不只是罕見病病友的故事，也是香港人的故事。 「銀幕·香港 Podcast」在這一集邀請了《3CM》(2019)的導演黃肇邦一起討論了： 1. 為何導演揀選罕見病這個比較特別的題材？拍攝紀錄片的緣起是？ 2. 藥物政策、醫療倫理、公共衛生等議題都相對沉重而複雜，亦需要很多資訊才能令到一般觀眾理解，導演又如何平衡不同素材，同時可以牽動觀眾，令人想繼續觀看呢？ 3. 拍攝紀錄片就跟人生一樣無法預計，在剪輯過程中，遇到甚麼困難？如何選取、編排素材？ 4. 電影把焦點放在照顧者社群和他們爭取權益的歷程上，而不是集中描繪罕見病病友的嚴峻病況，為何會有這樣的安排？ 5. 紀錄片中被訪者都十分真誠和信任地講出心聲，導演是如何建立這份關係？ 6. 電影其中一個核心訊息是為自己發聲、嘗試帶出改變。我們看到片中被訪者如何發聲，那麼對導演來說，何謂發聲？ 7. 電影最後以一個對比鮮明的畫面作結，期望帶出甚麼訊息？ 8. 之前在香港本地放映，受疫情所限未必能接觸到很多觀眾，是次網上放映則可以接觸到海外觀眾，導演有甚麼看法？ 9. 可以透露一下接下來的電影項目嗎？ 3CM (2019) is one of the films featured in the HKOS Indie Film Online Showcase (for more info: https://www.hkonscreen.org/indie-home). Despite its seemingly insignificant distance, 3CM (2019) serves as a crucial marker of life and death for patients with tuberous sclerosis, impacting their ability to access the proper medication. The film takes the perspective of two mothers from diverse backgrounds who embark on a journey to fight for their right to survival and dignity, thereby exploring issues related to public policy and social justice. 3CM (2019) is not only a story of rare disease patients but also a story of the people of Hong Kong. In this episode, director Wong Siu-pong of 3CM (2019) joins the discussion to explore:Why did the director choose the relatively unique topic of rare diseases? What was the inspiration behind making this documentary?Issues like drug policies, medical ethics, and public health can be pretty heavy and complex, often requiring much information for the general audience to understand. How did the director balance the different materials to engage the audience and keep them interested?Filmmaking, like life, is unpredictable. During the editing process, what challenges did the director face, and how did they select and arrange the materials?The film focuses on the caregiver community and their journey to advocate for their rights rather than solely depicting the severe conditions of rare disease patients. What was the reasoning behind this approach?The interviewees in the documentary are very candid and trusting in sharing their thoughts. How did the director establish this rapport?One of the core messages of the film is about speaking up for oneself and trying to bring about change. We see how the interviewees in the movie do this, but for the director, what does "speaking up" mean?The film ends with a stark visual contrast. What message does the director hope to convey with this ending?Previously, the film was screened locally in Hong Kong, and due to the pandemic, it may not have reached many viewers. With online screening, it can reach an international audience. What are the director's thoughts on this?Could you give us a glimpse of the director's upcoming film projects? 嘉賓主持：阿紗 Guest Host: Ah-Sha Follow her @ https://www.instagram.com/hk.finger/ --- The Hong Kong On Screen Podcast is a podcast about Hong Kong Cinema.

“A lot of my friends that I grew up with, that I met during my activism, a lot of them are either in jail or they're in exile,” says Frances Hui. She joined the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong when she was only 14 years old. Now she's living in exile in the United States.While the Chinese regime is “putting millions of Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, when they are also doing that to Tibetans, when they're also putting thousands of Hong Kongers in jail, they realize none of these human rights abuses comes [at] any cost … That bar for accountability keeps getting lower and lower,” Ms. Hui says.In this episode, we discuss her remarkable story, the Chinese regime's attempts to brainwash people and rewrite history, and her hopes and fears for her city.“I was fortunate enough that I experienced that golden era of Hong Kong. I got to be engaged in civil society. I [could] go to the streets and fight for my own freedom … But a lot of the young people now ... they don't get to grow up in that environment,” Ms. Hui says. “We are going to have a generation that [doesn't] know what's right or wrong.”

Where do things stand in Hong Kong today, and what might the future hold?This month, Asia Inside Out host Rorry Daniels speaks with two Hong Kong politicians and observers of US-China relations: Emily Lau and Adrian Ho. The two Hong Kongers see the city's political culture, relationship with Beijing, and recent history—including the seismic 2019 protests—very differently. They each discuss the effects so far of the 2020 National Security Law, as well as their distinct ideas about what national security is and how Hong Kong should secure it. The conversation also features their separate perspectives on Hong Kong's relationship with the US and PRC and how they envision the city's future.Emily Lau is a former politician and journalist and remains engaged in Hong Kong's civic and political life. She was the first woman directly elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 1991, and was Chairperson of the Democratic Party from 2012 to 2016.Adrian Ho is a Hong Kong politician and businessman. In 2019, he founded a Facebook group called SaveHK, which became the largest pro-Beijing group on Facebook, with 200,000 members at one point. A member of the New People's Party, he was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 2022. Asia Inside Out brings together our team and special guests to take you beyond the latest policy headlines and provide an insider's view on regional and global affairs. Each month we'll deliver an interview with informed experts, analysts, and decision-makers from across the Asia-Pacific region. If you want to dig into the details of how policy works, this is the podcast for you. This podcast is produced by the Asia Society Policy Institute, a “think-and-do tank” working on the cutting edge of current policy trends by incorporating the best ideas from our experts and contributors into recommendations for policy makers to put these plans into practice. 

By now we can comfortably say that Hong Kong is back to normal, and by normal we mean bizarre news and most of us complaining about our first world problems. While most of the world is still reeling from an economic crisis and feeling its effect on a daily basis, we are getting on boats to get way too close to see a whale who was unfortunate enough to lose its way and come to our shores.

This fall, students in Hong Kong will learn a new version of history — one that erases the fact the region was ever a British colony. According to four history textbooks currently under development in China, Hong Kong has always been a part of China, despite over a century of British dominion. And so continues a pattern of effacing and repainting histories.   During her years as a reporter in Hong Kong, Louisa Lim, author of the new book Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong, stumbled across shards of her city's various, conflicting histories — some imposed by colonial forces, others originating from Hong Kongers themselves. This week, Annalee Newitz talks to Lim about the myths that obscure the region's past, and the impact this myriad of histories has had on Hong Kongers' sense of political and cultural identity.
