What “The Hong Konger” lacks in style as a documentary it more than makes up for in shining a light on the particular values of the Hong Kong heroes like Jimmy Lai standing up to totalitarianism.
“The Hong Konger: Jimmy Lai’s Extraordinary Struggle For Freedom” is a documentary by the conservative think tank, Acton Institute, about Jimmy Lai, a rags-to-riches Hong Kong businessman and newspaper publisher who stood up to the Chinese government’s totalitarian takeover of Hong Kong, only to be jailed and see his newspaper shut down for his efforts.
