"Denise Ho: Becoming the Song is the first feature documentary to profile the charismatic Hong Kong singer and human rights activist Denise Ho. Denise’s story closely mirrors Hong Kong’s uneasy relationship with China. In 2014, at the height of her career, she publicly supported the students who were demanding free elections during the Umbrella Movement. Her actions led to her arrest, she was blacklisted by China, and her commercial sponsors dropped her. In 2017 director Sue Williams began to follow Denise as she toured the UK and North America, attempting to rebuild her career. In June 2019, Hong Kong exploded in anti-extradition law protests, with millions taking to the streets. Once again, Denise joined them in enduring the tear gas and water cannons. She addressed the UN and the US Congress, pleading for international help, making it clear that Hong Kong’s struggle is a fight for freedom and democracy around the world."--Container.
