Stories of Pang Jai

[Human Rights Award nomination] “Pang Jai,” also known as the Sham Shui Po Yen Chow Street Hawker Bazaar, is one of the last fabric markets in Hong Kong. “Stories of Pang Jai” documents the everyday life of the Pang Jai vendors, and their years-long protest against forced demolition. Started in the late 70s, the market once played a part in the city’s booming clothing industry. But in 2015, as land became the city's greatest commodity, the government demanded to reclaim Pang Jai for land redevelopment. Between rain and shine, protest and livelihood, politicians and bureaucracy, the Pang Jai vendors fight for their space to survive. ★ Seminar Live on STFF FB Fanpage 7th, Nov. 17:00 (TW time)
