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:
