| Summary 內容: | 2017 | 78 min | Dir. Joe Piscatella | In English and Cantonese with English subtitles Hong Kong teenager Joshua Wong decides to fight for his homeland. Rallying thousands of kids to skip school and occupy the streets, and without a long-term plan but with passion to spare, Joshua becomes an unlikely leader in Hong Kong. A remarkable portrait of courage, resilience, and the propulsive power of youthful idealism, Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower is a chronicle of one young man risking his own future for a greater good. This documentary received Audience Award: World Cinema Documentary in the 2017 Sundance Film Festival Awards. This event is part of the programme "HK20+1".
