About Young rebels fight for democracy and autonomy in Hong Kong (Full documentary)
20 years after Hong Kong was returned to Chinese rule from British colonization, it was supposed to operate under the principle of "one country, two systems," maintaining its own autonomy in local politics. But what is the reality? The "Handover generation," or "Retrocession generation," who feel neither Chinese nor British, are setting on a journey to explore their identities and start political movements in order to fight for their right to universal suffrage— a right once promised to them by Beijing but now denied. This documentary features their historical endeavors, ideas and challenges, including some of the most prominent young politicians: Wai-Ching Yau, Martin Lee, Nathan Law, and Joshua Wong. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Intro: Young Rebels ▷ 04:50 – Struggle of Young Honkongers ▷ 08:24 – The Hong Kong Identity ▷ 11:24 – 1984 and 1997: History of Hong Kong ▷ 14:43 – Martin Lee and Basic Law ▷ 17:04 – New generation in politics ▷ 22:30 – "Umbrella Revolution" and Electoral Reform ▷ 28:04 – Nathan Law, and collective effort ▷ 35:18 – Mr. Long Hair ▷
