Hong Kong film 'Ten Years' 10 years on
by editors@theworld.org (Alan Yu) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6ZFS2)
A group of Hong Kong filmmakers released an anthology of five short films in 2015. That was right after large scale pro-democracy protests, called the Umbrella Movement, took place in 2014. At the time, pictures of protestors holding up umbrellas to deflect tear gas canisters made headlines around the world. Each director was to envision what the city would be like in the year 2025. As Alan Yu reports from WHYY, the film - called "Ten Years" - painted a dystopian picture of Hong Kong's future.
