9/10

"Protests driven by China's authoritarian colonial government, in search of democracy, and which took on ethnic proportions, Chinese vs Hongkonger... Very brave the girl who appears in the documentary, taking serious risks of retaliation on the part of the government, I admire people of courage, in the face of my cowardice... Free from British rule, but hostage to China... By #HongKongLFree......"

Editing down 140 days of recorded footage to 36 minutes of film was a challenge , but Hammer always wanted "Do Not Split" to be a short: "I like the power of short documentaries, and that's what Field of Vision specializes in. (...) I think more people tend to watch a short documentary, which is published in a way we try to make it accessible." [IndieWire, 2021]
