Documentary About Hong Kong Pro-democracy Activists Wins Best Cinematography Award in #LibertyMovieFestival in #SouthKorea

#BlackBauhinia, a documentary featuring Hong Kong pro-democracy activists and social movements in Hong Kong since 2016, won the Best Cinematography Award at the Liberty Movie Festival in South Korea on November 24, 2021.

The film was directed by #MaltePhilippKaeding, a lecturer in international politics at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. Now-exiled Ray Toi-yeung Wong and now-jailed Edward Tin-kei Leung, who were representative localists and the founders of #HongKongIndigenous, were among those interviewed by the director.

The documentary also shows footages of the Prince Edward Station Attack by the Hong Kong Police on August 31, 2019, where the police assaulted train passengers indiscriminately.

In the trailer, pro-democracy activist Edward Leung talked about his utopia before going to jail -- a Hong Kong that is free and enjoys automnomy.
