Blue Island Cover Image DVD DVD

Blue Island [videorecording] / Director, Tze Woon Chan.

Chen, Zihuan, 1987- (film director.). Icarus Films Home Video, (film distributor.).

Summary:

The large-scale 2019 pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong and the subsequent crackdown on freedoms provide the urgent anchoring point for this remarkable vision from HK filmmaker Chan Tze Woon, a genre-defying plunge into the political morass that has been ever-widening between the former colony and the controlling Chinese state. Taking a panoramic view of these fractures, and covering acts of resistance from 1967 to today, Chan mixes documentary footage and fictional recreations of the past starring contemporary student protestors.
