From the director's statement: In 2019, protests of millions broke out in Hong Kong, advocating for human rights and against police brutality. In response, the Chinese government enacted a far-reaching, oppressive “National Security Law,” stripping away the freedoms of HongKongers. Since then, up to 500,000 HongKongers have left their home for greener pastures overseas. Though many left voluntarily, some were chased away by their own government's political persecution.
