    • Synopsis
    • A daughter who loves her police officer father; a believer who advocates nonviolent resistance; a student entering his last year of high school and queer artist-activist: their lives are upended as protests against a controversial extradition bill engulf Hong Kong. FACELESS is a feature-length, independently-produced documentary that follows these four young HongKongers navigating the protests. They take to the streets, facing tactical problems with creativity and countering police brutality with commitment and unity. As protests morph into a greater city-wide movement calling for democracy and justice against police brutality, each of them are forced to re-examine their motives, their values and personal relationships.
