Hong Kong: The Countdown, Part 1 - World History Documentary
A documentary covering the final year of the countdown period to the Hong-Kong hand-over. These films watch events unfold through the eyes of local people. They represent the different communities and the different social strata of Hong Kong – from street people to tycoons, from expatriates to the new Chinese administrators. In so doing we make this a personalised story instead of a political one. By getting to know these we understand the impact of the transition on a human scale. -

Hong Kong : Star Of China - Documentary
Laser beams shoot skywards, prolonging the angles of skyscrapers set in neon. Over the bay, the heavy sails of a junk reflect the flashing colours, while streaks of light glisten in the wake of the Star ferry. Fascinating. Throughout the documentary, Pierre Brouwers dazzles us with the power of his images and the passion with which he explores a city whose ambition is to serve as a benchmark for Asia.

HONG KONG as I saw it in 1949
When I arrived in Hong Kong from the Netherlands, the British colony was still recovering from the war. It had 2 million inhabitants. Huge numbers of refugees came pouring in from China. This is a documentary film showing what the British colony looked like then.

香港 Hongkong 1979
Hongkong, Abkürzung: HK (chinesisch 香港, Pinyin Xiānggǎng, , englisch Hong Kong – „Duftender Hafen), ist eine Metropole und Sonderverwaltungszone (englisch Special Administrative Region, kurz: SAR) an der Südküste der Volksrepublik China im Mündungsgebiet des Perlflusses. Mit über sieben Millionen Einwohnern auf 1106 Quadratkilometern und einem bedeutenden Wirtschafts- und Finanzsektor zählt Hongkong zu den Weltstädten. 95 Prozent der Einwohner Hongkongs sind chinesischer Abstammung mit überwiegend kantonesischer Muttersprache.
Hongkong wurde während des Ersten Opiumkriegs 1841 vom Vereinigten Königreich besetzt und durch den Vertrag von Nanking 1843 zur britischen Kronkolonie erklärt. Für viele Chinesen war die britische Kolonie Zufluchtsort vor dem Chinesischen Bürgerkrieg 1927 bis 1949. Im Jahr 1997 erfolgte die Übergabe der Staatshoheit an die Volksrepublik China. Seitdem ist Hongkong eine chinesische Sonderverwaltungszone unter Beibehaltung einer freien Marktwirtschaft und hoher innerer Autonomie. Dieses Prinzip ein Land, zwei Systeme wurde in der gemeinsamen Erklärung zu Hongkong vertraglich vereinbart. Die am dichtesten besiedelten Gebiete sind die Halbinsel Kowloon und der Norden von Hong Kong Island, die durch die schmale Meerenge Victoria Harbour getrennt sind. Zu den New Territories gehören das ursprüngliche Hinterland nördlich von Kowloon, das die größte Fläche Hongkongs ausmacht, und die meisten der 263 Inseln Hongkongs. Die größte Insel Hongkongs ist Lantau Island, in deren Nähe sich auch der Hong Kong International Airport, auf der Insel Chek Lap Kok, befindet.
Das Bevölkerungswachstum und die geringe bebaubare Fläche Hongkongs führten zu großflächiger Landgewinnung durch Aufschüttung im Meer und zur Entstehung einer Skyline aus Wolkenkratzern. Nach der Errichtung mehrerer Planstädte in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts lebt die Hälfte der Einwohner Hongkongs in den New Territories.
Hong Kong, the British colony in 1961
A worn old American educational film shows how Hong Kong was looked upon fifty years ago before the big boom began. In the next clip the Shek Kip Mei fire will be shown.

Hong Kong, start of the boom. 1978 香港
In 1978 the economic boom was in full swing. Hong Kong soon became a tourist trap, more than ever. No more junks with sails in the harbour. Nathan Road full of glaring neon lights. But sampans remained, thanks heaven. Yet, there is nostalgia, even for that time - 33 years ago. When I came to HK in 1949 there were 1.8 million people. In 1978 there were already 4.7 million!
