Besieged City
2008 · Movie · 96 min. · Hong Kong
BESIEGED CITY is about kids going berserk in the Tin Shui Wai housing development, one of the towns built out in the middle of the New Territories that wound up becoming traps for their residents as much as they provided affordable housing. Mei Ah, the film’s distributor has high hopes for the film and although it’s not slated to be released in Hong Kong until March, 2008 they held a one-day qualifying run so it could be nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards. A sharp-eyed reader found out about the screening and here’s their report, right from the front lines.
