Review of Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower

The documentary tells a story no more than its title. Joshua Wong, as a teenager activist, keeps fighting against China goverment for human rights of Hong Kong. As an audience, I expect to see more than the news and its metaphor years ago. I'm curious about how he became an activist, what motivated him, what the roles of his parents are, and also, in the social movements, what others did. Joshua is a Christian as it's shown in the documentary. It would be interesting to show his view of independent thinking and religion. His parents is under-presented iin the documentary too. As a Christian, his father actually protest against the rights of LGBTQ group. It would also be interesting to show their political differences. 50 years of keeping the original system is actually a source of anxiety of the teenagers in Hong Kong because it will be their middle age and they don't know what will happen then. I like the part showing how he protested the mandatory nationality education as a high school student. It's an issue of his group, he fought for his group, and he made it. But what did his allies do? Are Scholarism the only protesters? It's not a huge problem in this campain but it will be important in OCLP. OCLP is about democrcy of all Hong Kong citizens, and the highschool students are just part of it. I'd like to see more protesters interview instead of just about Joshua. Needless to say, the view of the other side is totally ignored. The enemey is the puppet HK goverment and China goverment. But where is the legislative concil? Where are the pro-gov citizens? What did they think? I'm not expecting an absolutely objetive documentary, which is impossible for sure, but under-representation of the other side makes the story less convincing. It reminds me of another docmentary about young activitists fighting for democracy in greater China, Our Youth in Taiwan. Like in Our Youth in Taiwan, young activitists decided to express their demand in the traditional systematic way, election. But instead of only one hero, Our Youth in Taiwan shows the path of different activitists, which enriches the documentary a lot.
