Chanting “Free Tibet” in Taipei Rally on 63rd Anniversary of Tibetan Resistance
“It is a shame that in the 21st century we must also see the persecution of the Uyghurs, that the Hong Kong documentary Revolution of Our Times can only be screened in Taiwan, and that authoritarian countries are invading Ukraine, but alongside all this bad news, we are also seeing an awakening, with many countries beginning to reflect on the whims of other authoritarian regimes and becoming more committed to defending democratic values,” said Wuer Kaixi, Executive Deputy Secretary of Human Rights Promotion Association in the Legislative Yuan and leader of the June Fourth Movement.

Kiwi CHOW, Director of <Revolution of Our Times>: I would sacrifice myself for justice, movie is only a path
By Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong December 28, 2021 • 30 December 2021
At the age of 18, when he already abandoned school life for three years, Chow asked himself how much he would sacrifice for movies. With weak English and poor HKCEE (HK Certificate of Education Examination) results, he was standing at a crossroad in his life. The question was “Should I return to school and try to get into the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) and learn how to make movies (which I love so much)? Or should I abandon this path?”. “It seemed that I must do something most painful (take examinations) before something I will…

Kiwi Chow: Honesty Is My Bottom Line
By Translated by BeWater HK on Apr 4, 2022 • 18 May 2022
Host: The “Siege of Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU)” marked the waning of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) Movement. We invite the Director for comments on how the failed encounter at PolyU affected the Anti-ELAB protesters.
Chow: The “Siege of PolyU” was covered in the documentary. They (the protesters) had persevered for an extended time. They were so exhausted, both physically and psychologically, that they had to leave, notwithstanding their unwillingness to give up or retreat. (Taking a deep breath) From June to November, for so many months they withstood tear gas and their bodies were telling them something.

Do not forget those unwavering still behind bars
By Translated by BeWaterHK August 27, 2022 • 19 September 2022
“It was fortunate that I was not charged under the National Security Law (NSL). Those after me being charged NSL offences faced minimum jail terms of years.”
“I want to remind all of us that we must not forget. There are unwavering comrades still behind bars.”
“Hong Kong has changed and silenced. This is certainly not what I want to see. The fewer people speaking up, the less safe for the outspoken. In view of this, we all should try to keep voicing out.”
