Nora Lam’s third documentary, about Edward Leung, a rather controversial figure whom Time magazine included, in 2019, on its “100 Next”, a list of rising stars expected to shape the future, seems to mirror the path of its protagonist, who is now in prison. The film premiered on 2017 at the Hong Kong Arts Centre with both of its initial screenings being sold out in two hours and the film continuing being popular at many screenings at colleges, universities, arts and community venues. However, as of May 2018, no mainstream cinema in Hong Kong was willing to screen it, renewing fears about the continued erosion of freedom of speech and self-censorship in Hong Kong, while in Singapore, the film was classified as M18, which meant that the film was restricted to persons aged 18 or above, because of “political sensitivities”.
