The tricky thing is to design it in a narrative film that remains intimate and maintains ethics. How does Lau enrich his experience and personal background to create a film with these kinds of sensitive issues? From the audio and visual imagery offered, which voices are represented by the subjects in the movie? How Lau manifest his authority and positions on ethnic and racial issues?
