DO NOT SPLIT - For Your Consideration
__________________
In 2019, a proposed bill allowing the Chinese government to extradite criminal suspects from Hong Kong to Mainland China sparked widespread protests.
DO NOT SPLIT captures the determination of the protestors, the government backlash, and the passage of the new Beijing-backed national security law.

DO NOT SPLIT filmmakers respond to reports that the Chinese Communist Party will censor OscarsⓇ coverage in mainland China, with Hong Kong broadcasters following suit, curtailing live coverage of the ceremony despite Hong Kong’s first nomination in nearly 30 years.
"Beijing's encroachment on Hong Kong's civil liberties is the main theme of our documentary DO NOT SPLIT. This alleged censoring of the Oscars due to our documentary being nominated is unfortunately not a big surprise after witnessing how freedom of speech and freedom of press is being drastically curtailed in Hong Kong."
- Director Anders Hammer
“Field of Vision has a commitment to tell vital stories from around the world, and to challenge unjust power structures. We are so proud to have made DO NOT SPLIT as it exemplifies both. It is important for the world to know about the erosion of liberties happening in Hong Kong, and so any form of censorship only furthers the case for how crucial it is that this story, and the past, current and future events in Hong Kong, are being told as widely as possible.”
- Producer Charlotte Cook, Field of Vision __________________
