声援黎智英｜特别放映 STAND WITH JIMMY LAI ：A special screening event 「The Hongkonger香港人」
📍时间：Feb 15th Sun 4pm 📍地点：2077 Gold St, Alviso, CA
香港高等法院近日判处黎智英20年监禁。本次判刑源于他在2025年12月被裁定罪名成立，并与《香港国安法》相关指控有关。自2020年底起，黎智英已被羁押至今。《苹果日报》也在多次警方突袭、资产冻结后被迫停刊，国际社会普遍认为这是对新闻自由的严重打击。
在这样的时刻，我们邀请大家参加一场特别放映活动：纪录片 The Hongkonger（《香港人》）我们希望通过这部影片，一起了解黎智英的故事，也共同思考：当新闻自由被系统性打压，当说真话的代价越来越高，我们还能如何回应与守护言论自由？
本片讲述媒体企业家、民主倡导者黎智英（Jimmy Lai）的生平与抗争历程：从白手起家创办《苹果日报》，到成为香港最直言不讳的北京批评者之一，并逐渐成为香港民主运动的象征。影片通过采访、档案影像以及他多次被捕的记录，呈现他在监禁与政治压力下仍坚持新闻自由、民主与人权的信念。

Hong Kong’s High Court has recently sentenced Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison. The ruling stems from convictions handed down in December 2025, related to charges under the Hong Kong National Security Law. Lai has been detained since late 2020. Apple Daily, the outspoken newspaper he founded, was also forced to shut down after repeated police raids and the freezing of its assets—an act widely seen by the international community as a severe blow to press freedom.
At this moment, We invite you to a special screening event: the documentary The Hongkonger. Through this film, we hope to learn more about Jimmy Lai’s story and reflect together: when press freedom is systematically suppressed, and the cost of telling the truth keeps rising, how can we respond—and how do we protect what matters?
The Hongkonger tells the life story and struggle of media entrepreneur and democracy advocate Jimmy Lai. From building Apple Daily from the ground up to becoming one of Hong Kong’s most outspoken critics of Beijing—and ultimately a symbol of resistance—the film traces his journey through interviews, archival footage, and coverage of his repeated arrests. It portrays his unwavering commitment to press freedom, democracy, and human rights despite imprisonment and political pressure.
