The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) Foundation hosted a global showing of the documentary, The Hong Konger, which highlights Jimmy Lai’s extraordinary struggle for freedom. The global audience included viewers from Hong Kong, where the movie cannot be shown because of the city’s censorship policies.
The Hong Konger uses the persecution and jailing of entrepreneur and journalist Jimmy Lai to illustrate the erosion of Hong Kong’s rule of law and way of life. The Hong Konger shows Lai defending his personal freedom and Hong Kong’s long-standing liberties despite the threat of jail.
