A village dies so a train can live — Hong Kong's soul fights back.
Hong Kong's high-speed rail link, the demolition of Choi Yuen Village, the impending budget and the influence of the global Occupy movement are at the centre of independent filmmaker Lo's timely measure of the city's pulse. Ostensibly the third entry in a trilogy that began with 21 years after. (2010) and to be continued (2010), which also captured public reaction to watershed moments in Hong Kong's political life since 2009. The documentary was built upon the material used in its previous installment (to be continued, 46 minutes). It disproves the notion of a passive Hong Kong in a chronicle of a generation poised for massive social change.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Choi Yuan Village was demolished in 2011 to make way for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, a $8.6 billion project that became a flashpoint for broader anti-establishment sentiment.
The 'trilogy' structure mirrors Hong Kong's own fragmented timeline — 2010, 2012, and the unmade future, suggesting documentary as incomplete prophecy.
