Hong Kong's place in global talks about climate change is the focus of a documentary project being undertaken by a group of environmentally conscious volunteers.
The film project, Seven Toyako Dogs, is the brainchild of Fredie Chan Ho-lun, 25, a research assistant at the University of Science and Technology.
Mr Chan said he believed most Hong Kong residents were passive on issues such as rising fuel prices, saying many simply accepted the government's explanation for skyrocketing costs.
'The truck drivers rushed out onto the streets to protest at the rising fuel price. However, when our government said that it was due to factors outside the economy of Hong Kong, most people just accepted that. It's quite depressing.'
'Leaders of these eight developed nations are going to talk about how to handle this crisis. It gives me a sense of hope. I want to film it,' Mr Chan said.
The seven volunteers want to cover the Group of Eight summit from alternative angles not covered by the mainstream media and interview Japanese farmers about their take on the big issues.
Bobo Yip Po-lam, a member of the film team and an organiser for a Hong Kong-based NGO, said she believed that Hong Kong played a very important role in globalisation.
