Advocacy Group Campaigns for #Screening Films about Hongkongers' Fight for Democracy on #Netflix

"Fight for Freedom Stand with Hong Kong," a group advocates for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong called for fellow citizens to appeal to Netflix and request the showing of some pro-democracy documenteries and films produced in Hong Kong. These titles include:

- Revolution of Our Times;
- May You Stay Forever Young; and
- Far from Home

All these films chronicled the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, capturing the bravery and extraordinary resilience of youths in the face of brutal repression, and their plea for international help.

Under the #NationalSecurityLaw, it is a safe assumption that these films cannot be officially shown in Hong Kong.

On its Facebook post, the advocacy group cited the Chinese Communist Party's pressure as the key hinderance to distribution of these films.

The group encouraged netizens to make their voices heard through the "Title Request" page of Netflix:

The film, titled “A Pro-Democracy Newspaper Shuts Down: Hong Kong” is set for on-demand viewing for only 1 month.

The paper was the most prominent media outlet in Hong Kong. Following 26 years of operation, it was forced into closure in June 2020, a year after China's imposition of the National Security Law in Hong Kong that curbs the city’s democracy and freedom of speech.

#Survey to assess demand for setting up a Hong Kong Government in exile

A political campaign group #AtlasMovement initiated a survey to gauge the demand for setting up a Hong Kong Government in exile.

“We have been thinking of setting up a Democratic Government in Exile to represent Hong Kongers and their interest in front of the international community, and to provide certain key state services,” the group wrote on its website and initiated a survey.

The group explained that the imposition of the #NationalSecurityLaw in June 2020 has led to a significant backslide and deterioration of democracy, rule of law and the guarantee of civil and political rights in Hong Kong.

It called the legislative elections in Hong Kong in December 2021 “a sham”, in which Hong Kongers can no longer express their voice or votes inside the city, and have no representation outside.

The survey aimed to assess demand for a Democratic Government in Exile; its representation; its function; how leaders could be elected and sources of funding.
