Season 1 Episode 49
Jimmy Lai came from mainland China – from a communist hell – to experience freedom to the fullest. He used that freedom to build a retail clothing empire in the East and then a media empire.
Jimmy realized that freedom the freedom he discovered in Hong Kong was a blessing, even a gift. He was grateful for it. And so he spoke up for it as the Chinese Communist Party came to steal it. In fact, he paid a high price...
He gave up his businesses, his wealth, and even his liberty. He sits in a cage.
Jimmy is the subject of the new film, The Hong Konger. In this film, you'll learn history and geopolitics, but mostly, you'll relate to a man of awe-inspiring courage standing up to tyranny.
Our guests...
- Eric Kohn, from the Acton Institute and one of the producers of the film
- Justin Arman, introducing you to ASG.Stream where you can watch this movie without commercial interruption.
"If commemorating those who died because of injustice is a crime, then inflict on me that crime and let me suffer the punishment ... so I may share the burden and glory of those young men and women who shed their blood on 4 June [1989]" ~ Jimmy Lai
