Guarding Our City

About This Movie

So, there's this short film called 'Guarding Our City,' made in 2021 and, interestingly enough, commissioned by the Hong Kong Police Force. The tone is pretty serious, and it has this documentary-like vibe that really immerses you in the atmosphere of urban policing. The pacing is brisk, which is something I appreciate in a short film – it keeps you engaged without dragging on. The performances feel authentic, likely because they’re drawn from real-life experiences. And while it’s not the most polished production, the practical effects give it a raw edge that I think suits the action genre well. It's distinctive in its intention, aiming to highlight the daily challenges and responsibilities of officers in Hong Kong.
