[NRK] The pandemic has become the Chinese government's best ally in controlling protests in Hong Kong, which took advantage of the lack of visibility to pass a dictatorial Security Law. This is an excellent 35-minute summary of how a few hundred students challenged police violence and China's oppression. Many scenes are familiar from other documentaries, but the capacity for synthesis and clarity is remarkable.
