Revolution of Our Times
Directed by Kiwi Chow
Hong Kong, 2021, 152 min, DCP
For the first time, the Cannes-premiered, award-winning documentary “Revolution of Our Times” (時代革命) is coming to Austin, Texas. With interviews and footage of the frontline protest scenes, the film covers the stories of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. The documentary takes its name from a locally well-known political slogan "liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" which has been ruled as illegal by the Hong Kong High Court. The film had its debut in the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in France and is currently banned in China and Hong Kong.
This film's rating is to be confirmed (TBC) and not recommended for young viewers. It includes scenes of violence, blood, and brutality.
This screening is co-presented by Hong Kong Democracy Council, TX4HK, & AAAFF.
