Journalists are trained to be objective. How about when you work under an authoritarian regime while fearing for your life? "Rather be Ashes than Dust" is a first person documentary chronicling a journalist-filmmaker's struggle with his conscience while witnessing intense police brutality against protesters during the 2019 protests in Hong Kong.

Before the 2019 Hong Kong protests, three dancers traverse the city’s hidden spaces in a haunting, wordless performance — a poetic struggle between freedom and confinement that captures the soul of Hong Kong on the verge of transformation. 在 2019 年運動前夕，三位舞者穿越香港的隱秘空間，以無言的身體詩演繹自由與禁錮之間的掙扎，凝視一座城市臨變的靈魂。
