2008年中國汶川大地震,超過七萬人死亡,改變了百萬川人的命運。來自香港,學地質專業的鄒幸彤也被這場地震改變了命運,她不僅目睹了中國在中共治下山河破碎,環境污染,更感受到了中共專制淫威之下,人權廣受漠視,低下階層毫無保障。從小心懷大愛的鄒幸彤毅然改變專業,成了一名大律師,在中港肩負起拯溺扶弱的社會責任,曾在多起泛民抗爭事件中參與維權。她還把維權範圍擴大至中國大陸,與英勇的中國維權律師們站在一起,直面強權,為弱勢發聲。

她在2010年開始加入香港市民支援愛國民主運動聯合會(下稱支聯會),走上促進中國民主的第一線。由於她的專業背景和廣泛的中國聯繫,加上意志堅強,辦事果決,從2016年起,她一直獲選為支聯會副主席。在習近平專制獨裁,香港自由岌岌可危的情況下,鄒幸彤面對危險毫不退縮,她說:「在專政之下爭取民主,被捕是無法避免的。要來就來吧。為爭取民主,犧牲是值得的。」2021年六四紀念日,港府禁止在維園舉行六四悼念晚會,鄒幸彤表態將以個人名義前往參加,結果遭警方拘捕,之後她又與支聯會主席李卓人,副主席何俊仁一起,被指控「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」。

2022年1月4日,鄒幸彤因為出現在2020年六四集會現場而犯有參與未經批准的集結罪以及非法煽惑他人參與罪,被判囚15個月。目前她仍然被羈押。

DOCUMENTARY THEME : A fighter for freedom in Hong Kong

In this documentary, the directors examined courage. This documentary explores facets of courage, including the resilience to face imprisonment, the departure of love, and a strong will to remain an optimist. The courage of the main character Chow Hang Tung is driven by moral obligation and determination to protect human rights amidst a transitioning society from democratic governance to authoritarian governance.

A barrister and a woman human rights defender, Chow Hang Tung, who represents other activists and protesters in both mainland China and Hong Kong. Chow was also the organiser of the annual candlelight vigil for Tiananmen Massacre. Chow ended up being jailed herself. She was charged with inciting subversion, facing potentially 10 years of imprisonment.

Filming an arrested human rights lawyer Chow Hang Tung under Hong Kong’s National Security Law, this documentary partly portrays a sharp decline in the rule of law in society. It also delves into Chow’s unwavering belief that fundamentally, the law should protect citizens.
