Communicating complexity and empathy in international politics: a documentary film project on Hong Kong
With Heidi Wang-Kaeding
This project aims to explore how filmmaking helps us cultivate the viewers’ empathy as we communicate the complexity of global politics. We have produced an award-winning feature-length documentary Black Bauhinia (explained below). We would like to establish an online platform to invite our audience to participate in the making of a shorter documentary film based on Black Bauhinia. There are two main outputs of this project: an interactive bilingual website which serves as a site of co-production, and a short documentary film (15-20 minutes).
