Hong Kong descends into deadly violence with both protestors and government unwilling to concede. As the protesters make a final stand, Beijing prepares to crush dissent forever.

In October 2019, as Beijing celebrates 70 years of the People鈥檚 Republic of China, Hong Kong is being torn apart by violent protests. Using ground-breaking artificial intelligence to protect the identities of the protesters, this film tells the story of four young people locked in a brutal battle with the authorities to defend their way of life.

As the police response turns deadly the protesters respond with violence of their own. Families turn against each other and the city is brought to its knees, but the protesters feel they鈥檙e fighting for their freedom and refuse to give in.

Holed up in a university campus, surrounded by police and with little response from the government, the protesters make their final stand. Meanwhile Beijing is preparing a crackdown that will change the face of Hong Kong forever.
