Part three is the most visceral episode so far, chronicling the city’s descent into extreme violence and chaos, and comes with a strong warning that viewers may find many of the scenes disturbing.

“Recalling the stress, tension and fear of the days we show in part three made us extremely conscious of reflecting those emotions as fairly and authentically as we could,” director of video Mat Booth said. “For anyone who cares about our city, this is tough to watch, but it’s important to remember what we all went though.”
China’s Rebel City is a companion piece to the book, Rebel City: Hong Kong’s Year of Water and Fire , published by the Post in June.
