Inspiring!

Such an amazing piece of film. I never realised what the Hong Kong protests were truly about at the time because of what the media chooses to report on.

However, this was so eye-opening. The story is phenomenal and so thought provoking and it is documented in such a gripping way.

I have the utmost respect for the movement and those who shepherded it.

Fantastic documentary and well worth a watch!

Wonderful, thank you for making this Netflix, on behalf of the Hong Kong people!

This documentary was absolutely breathtaking. Cinematography was 10/10 and the message behind it truly resonates with me. Having grown up in Hong Kong, and being half Hong Kongnese myself, what Joshua Wong stood up for is applauded by the millions of Hong Kongers living in Hong Kong. What he has achieved at such a young age is unbelievable, and I cannot wait to see how he will continue to change Hong Kong in the future for the better.

Brought tears to my eyes.

The document is not only about David vs Goliath, Democracy vs Totalitarian, Freedom vs Oppression, but also about human nature, about the real sacrifices of some individuals for their movement.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows about TianAnMen, June 4th, 1989. and what Chinese government would do for any disobedience. Yet, facing the real grave danger, Hong Kong citizen stood up against the center government at 2014 and 2015, led by a teenage boy. It's truly a remarkable story to tell. This film documented from the beginning to the current situation in roughly chronological order. It explained in personal details about how Joshua and his friends became activists, later leaders of movements. It shows us why in 2014,2015 so many Hong Kong people occupied the street and joined the demonstration, and what is the "umbrella movement". It shows the incredible spirits of not only the leaders, but also the citizens of Hong Kong as a whole. As I watched hundreds of thousands of people waving their lights together, I cannot hold back my tears. Those are truly touching moments for me. I was from China, but I've never imagined peaceful demonstrations could have taken place there again.

The film is only the beginning. The struggle is continuing every day. Chinese government demonized Joshua and his friends. This film is no doubt banned in China. However, I hope more Chinese people would find this film and watch it, then judge by themselves who's right and who's wrong. This film tells the story from Joshua's angle. It's biased, but since the official condemnation was everywhere, it's very rare to be able to see it from this angle. As the old Chinese saying, "Listening to both sides and you will be enlightened".
