Tuesday, December 10, 6:00 p.m. | Winner of the 2021 Golden Horse Award, REVOLUTION OF OUR TIMES tracks the street actions that followed the Hong Kong government’s passing of the 2019 extradition bill, popularly regarded as a critical erosion of the local legal system. Kiwi Chow’s documentary, now banned in both China and Hong Kong, follows the protestors’ organizing efforts and cobbles together live-streamed webcasts, on-the-spot cell phone footage, and interviews. Director Chow was the only member of production to waive anonymity.
