A huge privilege to be at the totally packed London premiere of @RoOT_film, a profoundly moving & powerful film about #HongKong's #FightForFreedom, & Q&A with the courageous director afterwards

Huge congratulations to @nathanlawkc @HKFF_UK /

It was deeply moving to sing Glory to Hong Kong at the end & give the director standing applause along with hundreds of wonderful #HongKongers

This film is banned in #HongKong & I probably committed another #NationalSecurityLaw crime by going to see it, but I highly recommend it

I urge everyone who has the opportunity to go see @RoOT_film

Watching @RoOT_film & singing #GlorytoHongKong with hundreds of #HongKongers & masses of tears and deep emotion reminded me of the anonymous #HongKonger who, in July last year, took my character writing of the anthem's lyrics & turned them into a set of postcards. Deeply touching

The @HKFF_UK & @nathanlawkc have done a truly amazing job bringing this incredible film festival together.

I strongly urge you to check out films, schedules & locations, & go along to as many screenings as possible, to support #HongKong and #HongKongers
