DIRECTOR STATMENT
In 2016, news of abuse in a residential care home for the disabled shocked Hong Kong and drew anger from all sectors of society. We live in pursuit of social stability and prosperity, but some people can’t even live with basic essentials and fundamental human dignity. This report remained deeply imprinted in my mind, so I sought out the investigative journalist behind the report. Journalists traverse the darkness in search of light, all for the hope of putting the spotlight on injustices. Sometimes, their fights end in vain, and all they get in return is a sense of hopelessness. Even in broad daylight, darkness can show its fangs. Yet, journalists remain steadfast in their cause. This gave me the creative angle and idea for In Broad Daylight.
