Revolution of Our Times

Wake up the whole world actually, in norwegian media, news about these riots where only superficially mentioned, and then forgotten.

So to everyone that hasnt engulfed the graveness of these protests go watch ''revolutions of our times'', a breathtaking historical document about young people fighting the''ubermacht'', the socalled chinazy policy to enforce chinese law into the once pretty free democratic ''state''of hong kong.

I thought it was a petty that united kingdom just left hong kong back in 1997 as an act of gentlemanship, leaving the millions of democracy loving people in the gap of the chinese lion. A 100 year long lease/lend agreement that gave almost non to nothing back to the average inhabitant of hong kong after UK left the premises.

I cant do much from my bastion here in norway other than support freedome and democracy by writing this review, its not a playbook to knock out a government, but a testament that hopefully will leave the flame of life, hope and democracy live in the years to come.

A well edited production with a very good timeline of the incidents that gives the youth of redemption hope. So take a deep breath, relax your sore skin and muscles till the next battle.and to those that succumbed in the battle, rest in peace, youll be always on my mind. A recommend from the grumpy old man.

This documentary vividly depicts the evolution of Hong King's social movement from 2019 till today - from the eyes of a journalist, a paramedic, a student, a social worker and many more. Questions pop up as you watch along - what is justice? How come millions of people choose to fight back violence with violence?

Striking, memorable and painful for anyone who has taken part in the movement to watch, but inspiring, though provoking yet tear jerking for others. Highly recommended.

Where is the mention of democracy and human rights under colonial rule?

The British were corrupt and native Chinese Hong Kongers were marginalized and brutalized.

The British colluded with the underworld gangsters to rule it with impunity.

There were no voting, no personal freedoms and no freedom of speech. The British clammed down on freedom of speech and oppressed the Press and reporters!

Wake up and learn the truth about Western democracy and Hong Kong.

I would have given this a full 10 stars but for the fact they neglected to show the bad times, that HongKongers had, when British Colonial thuggery existed. Colonial rule was bad in a corrupt way and I felt it would have been a good intro towards showing how much worse the Chinese, dictatorial and totalitarian, governing system is. I always knew (even as a child) that the people of Hong Kong would never accept Chinese Communist government rule once it was handed back to China.

This was/is an extremely well made documentary in 3 parts (due to Chinese political rules etc) and is a perfect way for all those who know nothing about Hong Kong, since its handover from a British Colony to the Communist Party in 1997! Everyone, more or less, around the world is aware of China's constant bullying of Taiwan (under threat of invasion by China's corrupt government) and, of its attempt to grab control of the South China Sea's region. The youth of Hong Kong are especially brave in their defiance of the Chinese warlord government and more so against the brutal, corrupt and cowardly riot police.

FREEDOM is an individuals right and the Chinese party is going to be even more ruthless in their attempt to quash the rebellion; they feel they have something to prove now or they will lose face. This will however not be another Tienanmen Square denial because the world is watching very closely from now on! Those who wish to have freedom are going to have to train and ready themselves for war because, China will send troops in and it will be a bloodbath of unprecedented violence from the ignorant and brainwashed Chinese military bullies!

How can Chinese government Communist party members call themselves Communists when they are (and live like) super wealthy Capitalists?

After reading it, I can only say: Hong Kong people, come on! We in Taiwan will work hard to protect our hard-won freedom and democracy. May the glory return to Hong Kong!
