'When a City Rises' censored and banned in China and its territories.

Chinese authorities censor and ban "When a City Rises" and other pro - democracy films, art and literature. According to the new law, anything related to the pro-democracy movement can’t be shown or distributed. Artists and filmmakers can face severe punishment.
“When a City Rises” purpose is a historical record of what happened in the past few years with democracy in Hong Kong. The events can’t be erased and history can’t be silenced or banned.
