The President of Taiwan (@iingwen) watching a masterpiece documentary about Hong Kong, produced by Hongkongers, which, for all intents and purposes, is *banned* in Hong Kong.

Sharing session with the director Kiwi Chow, at @RoOT_film London premiere. The theatre is completely packed. Lots of emotions and tears. This documentary faithfully depicted our shared story and our shared passion. This common legacy of Hongkongers is why we will fight on.
