This event will screen three films that highlight the ongoing issue of racism and sexism in Hong Kong. These films are based on true events and explore the experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds, highlighting the intersectionality of race, gender, and class. The term intersectionality explores how multiple identities interact to create unique patterns of oppression or discrimination, as well as advantage or privilege. We seek to spark conversations that can promote understanding, empathy and everyday actions to make Hong Kong more inclusive and a place where everyone feels they can belong.


"講你呀! Ey You"

Screened for the first time in Hong Kong in this event, this film shows a young mixed-race couple experiencing street harassment from a stranger one evening while they are walking. Please note this film contains some strong language.


"Bun Mui ?"

This film is a testimony of a Bangladeshi-heritage, Hong Kong-born and raised young woman and part of a series of storytelling videos that Resolve released in 2018 in a campaign on everyday racism, in collaboration with Rights Exposure Project.


"We Don't Dance for Nothing"

This is a short of a longer film that is a visual re-imaging of true memories shared by Filipina Domestic Workers in Hong Kong, Trapped by her servitude, the protagonist plans to break free of the city and run wild, towards her dreams of independence, love, and true motherhood.


Following the film screening, an interactive panel discussion will be held with some of the filmmakers and community which will then be open to questions and answers from the audience.
