During the Cultural Revolution, many fled to British-controlled Hong Kong. Likewise, it was to the same place that people took refuge after the events at Tiananmen Square in 1989. In his award-winning and daring film, director Chan Tze-woon mixes documentary images with interviews and stagings as he lets students from today portray refugees during the Cultural Revolution and weaves together the past with the present in a place where the protests never quieted down, where you always wanted to be yourself and never controlled by another power.
