Catching up with Guardian's Dan Chung.
The original video can be found at Vimeo, in "HD." The following is a clip showing the Olympics torch relay protest in Hong Kong.

This second video shows dislocated Quake victims from Beichuan running away for fear of possible dam burst. The video is interspersed with still pictures shot by Dan Chung using most likely his Nikon D3.

ReplyDeleteThanks for including these Dan Chung videos - I've seen Guardian videos on their web site before but didn't realise that I could embed them into blogs too.
ReplyDeleteThe Tibet protests video is especially an eye-opener. I didn't realise that the girl was so fluent in English and were being interviewed by foreign press right through the harrassment and up to and including being bundled by the police into their van, and it clearly showed who was really infringing on whose rights of protest. It increased my admiration for the girl threefold, especially when she vehemently stated that "We're not going anywhere!" even when she was threatened with bodily violence. You go girl! Stand up for the free Hong Kong that you believe in and don't back down.
In the end, the protest seems to me to be more about upholding a free Hong Kong than about freeing Tibet per se, and I was incredulous that the police acted the way they did rather than admonish the crowd for their mob behaviours. I'm so grateful to Christina and her ragtag band of protestors for doing what they did...
I like her protest attire better, she is always on her tube top...One time she was on a political talk show on RTHK, she was on her usual attire but with a cardigan over it, I was so disappointed....
ReplyDeleteThe video was phenomenal. Dan Chung and his team did an excellent job. The audio, I think must have been enhanced as the camera was at least 20 feet or so away from her, yet she was still very audible. The quality of the video is just superb, it puts the NYTIMES to shame.
I agree, this whole affair has more to do with freedom of expression than Tibet independence. The Hong Kongers are doing themselves a disservice by denying anybody a dissenting points of view. It just set back the whole democratic movement back before 1989. It's just backward. It's a self-castration of freedom of expression.
