China’s Rebel City – The Hong Kong Protests
Clocking in at an hour and eight minutes, China’s Rebel City is a gritty, no-holds-barred, audiovisual account of the political turmoil and social chaos that pushed Hong Kong to the brink.
It draws upon the unprecedented access, expertise and ground-zero reporting of award-winning Post journalists to tell the story of a city at the crossroads.
Exclusive interviews with key figures provide insightful, if conflicting, narratives in a reflection of a polarised society, while dramatic visuals drawn from hundreds of hours of video footage do the talking without taking sides.
The documentary, a companion piece to the book Rebel City: Hong Kong’s Year of Water and Fire, published in June, was previously released in four parts recently.
