Acclaimed filmmaker Evans Chan screens and comments on his documentary ?Raise the Umbrellas,? its first full-length preview on the West Coast. Watch the trailer here.
The film explores the origin and impact of Hong Kong?s 2014 pro-democracy demonstrations through the inter-generational lenses of three post-Tiananmen democratic activists alongside other cultural and social characters in the movements and pro-Beijing counter voices. Comprehensive and intimate, driven by stirring footage of a mega-metropolis riven by protest, the film lays bare the sheer political risk for post-colonial Hong Kong?s universal-suffragist ambitions that reverberates across Greater China and democratic movements around the world.
