Stories of Pang Jai 《風吹布動》
2024 | 50 min | In Cantonese and English with Chinese and English subtitles | Dir Jimmy Lo
Stories of Pang Jai is a poignant relic of Hong Kong's fabric markets. Within its bustling lanes, the resilient spirit of the vendors weaves a vivid tapestry of everyday lives, revealing their epic struggle against the threat of forced demolition. Stories of Pang Jai is a tribute to the heart and soul of this community, where threads of resilience and passion intertwine.
2015年,政府計劃收回深水埗「棚仔」布市場,以興建一幢政府資助房屋。在尺土寸金的香港,「沒經濟價值」不難成為被剷除的目標。布販們為共同信念怒吼、抗爭與生活、政客與官僚之間,在深水埗「棚仔」,在風雨飄搖,在陽光燦爛的日子,這是他們的生存空間。
