Episode overview
In September 2014, the world witnessed Hong Kong's so-called "Umbrella Revolution", named after the umbrellas pro-democracy marchers used to protect themselves from tear gas, after they occupied central areas and brought Hong Kong to a virtual standstill. Students and citizens called out for "true universal suffrage" but not a single one of their demands were ever met. In this episode, we catch up with some of the Umbrella Revolution's key players, and hear what they feel about the future of Hong Kong.
