In 2015, only a handful independent cinemas dared to screen the film, which is a compilation of five shorts. For the first time in my life, when the film ended, no one uttered a word. The theatre was so silent you could hear a pin drop. twitter.com/hardmaru/statu…

Lost in the Fumes, a documentary on the young #HongKong politician and activist, Edward Leung, is now available on iTunes. He was jailed for six years in 2018 over the Mong Kok riot in 2016. Check it out if you can.

Heavy police presence - and interesting attire - in Causeway Bay, where protesters are gathering for the annual Jul 1 march in defiance of police ban. It is also the first #HongKongProtest since the sweeping national security law took effect last night.
