SHORT JOY // An anonymous, authentic video secretly filmed from taxi windows captures fragments of violence right in the middle of clashes between police and protesting Hong Kong residents. In addition to the contact sound of fights, screams, singing, chants of the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong! Revolution of our times!”, and the howls of those who've been beaten, we also hear the conflicting comments of taxi drivers from both sides of the border - Hong Kong and the neighboring mainland Shenzhen.

“As of July 1, 2020, China has implemented the National Security Protection Act in Hong Kong, which criminalizes every expression of protest as an attempt to become independent, undermining government authority, terrorism, and conspiracy with foreign forces, with draconian sentences of long-term imprisonment. But the protests returned to Hong Kong after the Covid-19 pandemic emergency lockdown was released.” Red Taxi
