Cultural critic and filmmaker Evans Chan focuses on issues affecting individuals as the 1997 Hong Kong hand-over to Mainland China approaches and comes away with a clear and insightful documentary concerning the transition. Inter-cutting between a charity walk from HK to Beijing and a group of interviews with HK residents, Journey was panned by both political extremes as propaganda. Yet Journey succeeds in finding a relevant and enlightening cross-section in a very complicated and loaded cultural and historical event. Directed by Evans Chan.
