Lessons in Dissent is a 2014 documentary film about young political activists in Hong Kong.
Synopsis
Lessons in Dissent was filmed over 2011 and 2012 and follows two student activists, Joshua Wong and Ma Jai, as they protest the proposed adoption of the Moral and National Education curriculum for Hong Kong's schools. They felt the curriculum amounted to brainwashing. Wong, a secondary school student at the time, is portrayed as a charismatic young leader. He founded a student group called Scholarism to fight the changes and became famous in his opposition. Ma Jai, a school drop-out, remained active in the League of Social Democrats as an organiser and protestor. Both were arrested for their efforts but the protests succeeded and that National Education curriculum was made optional.
