Obedience

Hong Kong: The opening festival of the Kwun Yum Temple attracts numerous worshippers seeking financial support from the Goddess of Mercy. Nearby, senior citizens patrol the area with their wheelbarrows, collecting recyclable materials from the streets to sell them for a small sum at collection points. The documentary OBEDIENCE captures the economic and social microcosm of the underclass in the Hung Hom district. We are given an authentic, and intimate insight into the lives of the local people, without commentary.
