A teenager should not feel personally responsible for saving his homeland’s values and way of life, but this is the role Joshua Wong has voluntarily assumed. As the founder of the student activist society Scholarism, Wong has challenged the Mainland Communist Party’s plans to impose Party indoctrination in Hong Kong schools and its relentless efforts to undermine the “One China Two Systems” promise of HK democracy. Viewers will see what genuine democracy protests look like and how perilously high the stakes can in Joe Piscatella’s documentary “Joshua: Teenager Vs. Superpower,” which screens during the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
'Joshua: Teenage Vs. Superpower' is a highly compelling, emotionally involving film by any standard.
