Hong Kong Blue

Synopsis

HONG KONG BLUE: Mike Marlowe is a UK photographer who - after traumatic frontline news work in Ukraine in 2014 - decides to seek a less serious life by joining the London paparazzi. In 2019 a 'working holiday' in Asia leads him to Hong Kong, just as that city state comes under increasing pressure from the Chinese government, pressure that provokes huge pro-democracy demonstrations. Mike's interaction there, with the locals - including wannabe and free spirit Susan - puts both of them in the spotlight... and in danger.

Finally freed from Russian domination, Ukraine and its recent, controversial, revolution has led to a cultural explosion as the number of young artists mushrooms in the capital. Kiev Unbroken: Ukraine Reborn is the first feature length documentary to cover both the bloody Maidan Square uprising of 2014 and the artistic shockwaves that have followed it and which continue to this day - all in the midst of a country at war.
