Event Description:
Join us at the private screening of “The Sunny Side of the Street” 《白日青春》for Swire staff and families. This heartwarming movie tells the story of a 10-year-old Pakistani refugee boy on a pursuit of escape, who finds an unexpected kinship with a Hong Kong taxi driver. Through this film, you will get a taste of the complexity of the refugee and asylum seeker communities in Hong Kong, as well as the optimism and resilience built among these groups. This event includes a post-screening sharing by Hong Kong Dignity Institute, which will give us more insight on the reality of refugees in Hong Kong.
