CHAOS MEMO YELLOWING, directed by Chan Tze-Woon,

In 2014, an umbrella movement took place in Hong Kong, where young people led the ups and downs of the movement, the occupation of streets by civilians, and the fight against democracy in the way of civil disobedience. “Where there is a discord, may we bring harmony; and where there is despair, may we bring hope.” With his camera, director Chan Tze-woon has recorded a reminder for 2014 When he was full of dreams and courage.
