A Thousand Winds

Overview

The lives of a generation were changed by a pile of charges and imprisonment. If the young people had known what shape the suffering would take, would they have still tried so bravely to change the world? Hong Kong's social activism resulted in the police arresting 10,279 people. Among these, 2,899 have already gone through or are going through the legal process. Around 80% have been found guilty and sentenced to prison. The documentary A Thousand Winds converts the numbers back into people to show how they are responding to the trial in their youth.
