Summer 2019. Hong Kong’s leaderless pro-democracy movement stuns Beijing and captures the world’s attention.

Provoked by the city's governor Carrie Lam's attempt to pass a bill that allows extradition for trial to mainland China, thousands of protestors fill the streets to push back on the limitation of freedom and democracy.

Directed by James Leong and Lynn Lee from eye-level during the protests, If We Burn is an urgent, immersive journey into this historical moment, and a meditation on what it means to resist.
