The answer to the title question is the government of China. They fear the young man and his friends as if he were the boogeyman. There is a very good chance that if the Chinese could remove him and other pro-democracy protesters with out it causing an uproar, they would do so in an instant.
This is the story of Law and his fellow protesters who decided to fight the Chinese draconian rule of Hong Kong. They didn't want to live in a city where dictators ruled with an iron hand.
This is one of the best docs I've seen on the uprising in Hong Kong. While there have been many others, some being biographies of people involved, some filled with on the ground footage, this is the first one that I've run across that has managed to be both in the moment and a step back. Its a film that puts us in the fight and gives us a bit of context so that we can understand what happened and what is happening and why.
This film is so good that even if you've seen other films on the Hong Kong Uprising you need to see this one.
Recommended.
