Hong Kong Moments plot
As pro-democracy activists and armed police battle on the streets of Hong Kong, ordinary citizens take sides. Historically a maverick of both Western and Chinese power, Hong Kong has its own economic strength, giving the city and its residents a spirit of independence that has now erupted in clouds of tear gas. On September 21, 2019, protesters from three districts join forces, resulting in unprecedented violence. Just 10 days later, on October 1, the National Day of the People's Republic of China, spectators are on their toes. Thoughts turn to action in this demonstration of how volatile and personal Hong Kong politics has become.
